Chapter Thirty-Nine: Bert and the Ickabog Defence Brigade
So far the people of the City-Within-The-City have no idea of the hunger in the rest of the country, but in this chapter a runaway mail coach is about to change all that.
Mail coaches were used to move letters across the country before the days of postal vans, trains or planes. It was a dangerous job as Highwaymen often stopped the coaches to rob them.
The Postal Museum has some wonderful stories about the History of the Mail Coach. Click the link to read all about them.
