The Little Post Office by the Bridge
Welcome to Gorse Bridge - where the river runs steady, the gorse blooms bright, and the little bell above the post office door rings every morning at eight.
Meet Horatio Redtail, the most reliable squirrel you are ever likely to meet. With his satchel strapped neatly across his chest and his cap pulled down against the weather, Horatio believes in three very important things:
Letters must be delivered.
Parcels must be handled properly.
And no matter what happens, the post must go on.
Life in Gorse Bridge is rarely quiet for long. There are mysterious postcards from the past... bridges that close at the worst possible moment... catalogues that cause decorative chaos... snowstorms that test loyalty... inspectors who count numbers instead of feelings... and one very enthusiastic robin who believes everything deserves an announcement.
Through it all, Horatio walks his round - steady, thoughtful, and quietly brave.
The Little Post Office by the Bridge is a collection of twelve heartwarming stories about friendship, community, and the small, ordinary acts that hold a village together.
Perfect for readers aged 7-11 who love:
Gentle countryside adventures
Talking animals with very real problems
Warm humour and cosy settings
Stories about kindness, belonging, and doing the right thing
Step across the bridge.
The post is waiting.
