The newly formed Creaping Bottom Post Box Topper Society is
determined to knit stunning post box toppers each month. Despite
their January topper being labeled a disgrace and an eyesore by an
anonymous email, the team continues knitting creatively themed
toppers every month: hearts for February, daffodils and books for
March, eggs for April, and a coronation topper for May. They begin
to garner local and national sensation. With mysterious attempts to
sabotage their toppers and more anonymous emails from the
elusive A. Godbin, a vindictive hairstylist, and a peeved local
journalist, the Society faces challenges beyond dropped stitches
and thinking up creative toppers monthly. The Post Box Topper
Chronicles by Dawn Knox is a lighthearted and endearing story that
readers will relish.
If the book cover did not give it away, The Post Box Topper
Chronicles is a humorous, laugh-out-loud read filled with quirky and
hilarious characters. Beryl constantly schemes to promote her
coffee and cake shop, while Sally pines for the oblivious Levi.
Stuart, the tight-fisted accountant, has a unique talent for lopsided
knitting, and Vera, the group’s beleaguered Chairperson, keeps
everything from unraveling. The book delights with its comedic
elements, including alien sightings, a vengeful hairstylist, and the
Creaping Bottom Post Box Topper Society's relentless planning for
the next month’s post box topper, all amidst plenty of cake. Dawn
Knox weaves together a tale of camaraderie, creativity, and the
occasional chaos of community projects. This is a warm, humorous
read that offers laughs and heartwarming moments, perfect for
anyone needing a good chuckle and a cozy story.
So true, we do need light-hearted stories such as The Post Box Topper Chronicles by Dawn Knox to escape into when the 'real' world gets too much.
