O nce there was a Postman who fell in love with a Raven.
The Postman lived on the edge of a flat, desolate suburb. When he looked to the west he could see the skyscrapers of the city of which his suburb was the outermost appendage. When he looked east he saw flat, bare land that stretched away from his home until it met the cliffs that stood over even starker, more desolate places.
His house was very small. There were no trees around it and no birds. Once in a while a rabbit came by and ate all the strawberries in his little garden.
The Postman had been a postman for quite a few years. He was no longer a young and ardent

postman; he thought he had seen just about everything Her Majesty s Postal Service could offer in the way of danger and difficulty, hilarity and boredom. He yearned to have an adventure, but he suspected that he probably wouldn t. Every day he sorted his mail and put it in his sack and walked his round. Then he went home, had his tea, watched TV, and fell asleep on the sofa. He sometimes had nightmares that featured e-mail.
On a particularly rainy Monday morning in April, the Postman was sorting mail when he found a letter with an address he had never seen before. The letter was stamped Special Delivery . It was addressed in an elegant hand that suggested it might have been mailed in a previous century.
