The modern letters do the same. By turns moving, funny and challenging, this is a collection of letters that will engage and enlarge readers' sense of empathy  and may inspire them to pick up the pen themselves. This book is a testament to the particular power of a letter (or an email, fax or telegram) to shock us, to move us and to warm us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthors include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJane Austen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Barrett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbara Blackman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Bongiorno\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeville Bonner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Brooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorma Brooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverend John Flynn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKate Forsyth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMem Fox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Gammage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorris Gleitzman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatrick Glynn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel Gray-Barnett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenry Lawson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaggie Mackellar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverend William McLeod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSir John Monash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdela Pankhurst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaelene Rallah-Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Reid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmy Remeikis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSita Sargeant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Skinner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrina South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDr Ranjana Srivastava\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKylie Tennant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Trigg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSam Wallman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShelley Ware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Ian Wing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael Winkler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJudith Wright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861505265822,"sku":"ADS-9781922507747","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922507747.jpg?v=1779253130","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922507747","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
