Issue: 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.
Agency: freelance
“I cannot think of anything that would have pleased my aunt Mary Ann more than these stamps. There is something so delightfully approving about a stamp; it seems to say that the book has entered into the collective culture. But more than that, stamps go on letters - they are the first thing to admire about a letter, in fact - and then you open the envelope and then you pull out the thin paper and crinkle it open and begin the newest instalment of the story you are dying to read. To see our story so beautifully captured in stamps is like looking through tiny windows to find that The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is real - and what could be better than that?” Annie Barrows
