Dogs are the natural villains in any book by or about mail carriers-and that's certainly true in ""Tales of Yore, The Mail Carriers' Revenge,"" a collection of favorite anecdotes of real-life mail carriers. Here, dogs are humorously trashed, trounced, and vilified in a most satisfactory manner. However, not all dogs are bad. ""Tales of Yore"" also includes light-hearted stories of inept dogs, misunderstood dogs, some vicious critters that aren't even dogs-and yes, even a few good dogs. ""Tales of Yore"" is about people too, as postal people are kind of like dogs. You've got your good ones, your bad ones, smart and dumb ones-and then you got your butt-snifters who should be put on a leash Laugh along with our heroes as they encounter snakes, vicious cats, and attack chickens; guys in dresses-and some customers with no clothes at all. "" Tales of Yore "" has all these stories, as well as stories of heroic carriers. It explores the difficulties of carrying mail in a changing world and contemplates the human side of the postal service-the fun and foibles of an unruly and obstinate bunch of ""characters"" who deliver big laughs with each letter. | Tales of Yore by Mark J Woodbury, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
