About Us

Two people, a love of nature, and rather a lot of strongly held opinions from a snail.

Magic Mail Club started the way a lot of good things do by accident, slightly too late at night, talking about the childhoods we wished every child still got to have.

I was the child who collected stones and shells with what felt like very important energy. Who genuinely, properly believed that something magical lived at the bottom of the garden, behind the shed, just past where the grown-ups stopped looking.

I recall getting my Mum out of the bath, down the stairs, and running into the garden to come and look at the fairies I'd found one time.

I still do believe in nymphs, fairies, and dragons. 🧚

So Fern came through a forest nymph who has been alive for longer than your grandmother's grandmother, who notices absolutely everything, and who is still, after all this time, learning.

And then came Sheldon a snail with extremely strong feelings about a particular stone, who insists on taking the monthly photograph despite being, by his own admission, not built for it.

It's hard work for Fern delivering envelopes bigger than her body to lots of children, so we decided to be of service. 😉

Every letter is written in their voices, illustrated by hand by an artist we are totally in awe of, and sent out into the world in the hope that it lands on a doormat at exactly the right moment for one particular child.

We hope these letters become little time capsules — things your children dig out years from now and remember exactly what it felt like to be small and wonder-struck in your house, in that particular year.

If that sounds like something your child needs, we'd love to send them a letter.
