` One June day in 1953 aged twelve I sat in a classroom & drew a map.` The map that the young Hamilton-Paterson drew was of a tropical isl&, & it prefigured with uncanny accuracy the Philippine island on which, thirty years later, he would spend a full third of each year, entirely alone. It had a coral str&, a field of grass, vertical volcanic cliffs & no water. He survived by fishing & by drinking rainwater. This is a book about a remarkable & self-sufficient writer`s `desire to be lost`, & the journey of a conventionally educated Englishman to an island on the far side of the world that aroused in him a feeling of discovering a place he always knew. Hamilton-Paterson writes with incomparable skill about the hard beauty of the sea, of coral reefs & the animals that live in them, & about the fishermen who eke a living among the labyrinth of islands that make up the Philippines. ...

In July 1969, while the Rolling Stones played a free concert in Hyde Park, Alan Johnson & his young family left West London to start a new life. The Britwell Estate in Slough, apparently notorious among the locals, in fact came as a blessed relief after the tensions of Notting Hill, & the local community welcomed them with open arms. Alan had become a postman the previous year, & in order to support his growing family took on every bit of overtime he could, often working twelve-hour shifts six days a week. It was hard work, but not without its compensations
- the crafty fag snatched in a country lane, the farmer`s wife offering a hearty breakfast & even the mysterious lady on Glebe Road who appeared daily, topless, at her window as the postman passed by... Please, Mister Postman paints a vivid picture of England in the 1970s, where no celebration was complete without a Party Seven of Watney`s Red Barrel, smoking was the norm rather than the exception, & Sunday lunchtime was about beer, bingo & cribbage. But as Alan`s life appears to be settling down & his career in the Union of Postal Workers begins to take off, his close-knit family is struck once again by tragedy... Moving, hilarious & unforgettable, Please, Mister Postman is another astonishing book from the award-winning author of ` This Boy`.
