In Post Haste, R. M. Ballantyne intricately weaves the tale of Phillip Mayland and his friend, George Aspel, set against the fascinating backdrop of the 19th-century British Post Office. Drawing from the Postmaster-General’s Annual Reports and personal investigations, Ballantyne offers a vivid exploration of postal work and communication across the Kingdom. He expresses his gratitude to Sir Arthur Blackwood and his team for their invaluable insights, hoping that while the narrative may not exhaust the subject, it will certainly engage and entertain readers. Join us on this journey through history, humor, and intrigue.
