Elsie-Rose — Her Story, One Letter at a Time

A desk with pen and paper, a vase of daisies and a cup of tea — Letters from Rhubarb Lane

One remarkable woman.
12 letters. One year.

Elsie-Rose is the kind of friend everyone wishes they had. The sort who writes proper letters — full of warmth, wit, and the kind of stories that make you smile into your tea. She's lived, she's laughed, and she's still very much doing both.

Each month, a new letter arrives from her. Filling you in on what's happening on Rhubarb Lane, introducing the many colourful characters, and the mysteries that somehow find their way to her door. A fond memory of how things used to be. A reminder that even in your grey-haired years, life has a wonderful habit of surprising you.

"A touch of cosy nostalgia. The watercolour print set the scene as I was drawn into the nostalgic world of Rhubarb Lane. The little surprise gift was so cute and the overall presentation beautiful and well thought out. I'd definitely recommend this as a great, original gift for the loved ones in your life."

Mrs Elaine F

"Loved my first letter. It really did read as if wrote to me by a friend and I can't wait to read all her future letters and find out what's been going on in Norfolk. Having visited a few times on holiday I can picture the beaches and scenery as I read the letter. Took me back to the fun of childhood pen pals"
