Before you ever open the first envelope, the adventure has already begun.

It starts, not in a city or a castle, but in a quiet backyard with a pecan tree, a little coop, and some chickens and ducks, who have discovered something very troubling. A frightened kitten is being yelled at through a shed window, and a mean man known as Grumpas is involved. They know they can’t solve this alone, and Goldie wants to tell you the story.

So she begins to write.

Not to the animals in the yard.
Not to the cats on the fence.
But to someone who lives beyond it. YOU!

A friend with thumbs.
A friend who can read her letters.
A friend smart enough to keep a secret.

When the first envelope arrives in the mail, decorated with cheerful colors and illustrations, it looks innocent enough. But inside are the neighborhood animal’s reports, schemes, and suspicions. The kitten is too small to hunt, too young to defend herself, and the animals fear the rats that creep through the shed at night. Something must be done.

Week by week, the mission grows. A cat spy named Seven crawls under the shed. Princess, a small terrier with the bravery of ten bigger dogs, gathers intel from the neighborhood. Raven scouts from above. Captain the duck draws up the rescue plan with a flap of her wings and a sharp eye for danger.

And you read each update and not only follow the plan—they become part of it. They test recipes the animals recommend. They try games the animals play after reconnaissance. They study the kitten’s predicament as though it were their own mission to solve.

And all the while, the envelopes keep coming.

Just thought that I would drop a line telling you how much I am enjoying my purchase. I have just received Letter #4. I also am enjoying the drawings in each letter. I can't wait for the next letter to arrive. Thanks again for the experience of each letter.

I’ve planned out the next letter. Before I open it, I’m going say, “Previously on Annily’s Letters...” and read the last one again.

Is anyone else getting Alice Briggs Annily letters? I got the second one and keep thinking about it. Like, it keeps popping into my mind. Those mysterious little nuggets of information have got me jonesing for the next letter. Every day I come down the stairs and stare disdainfully at the letterbox. I can see me gnawing my own arm off before the end of this. All to say, I'm enjoying it.

Mary Rosewood

This is an intriguing mystery that arrives in an exciting series of envelopes by mail. The lovely watercolor illustrations add to the enjoyment as well as the storytelling. It's really fun to get this in the mail -- I looked forward to each installment.

I love reading them and then the anticipation waiting for the next letter is daunting!!! When I open my mailbox and see the next letter, I jump for joy!! I love reading and seeing where the story is going next. Do yourself a favor and subscribe asap. You won’t regret it :)

I absolutely love love getting these letters in the mail. The story is so amazing and keeps me guessing and very intrigued. I love going to the mail box and finding the next letter. So absolutely amazing!!

Javon K Pablo

Love the recipes! Tired them all. Why have I never tried hot tea with milk?!?!

Javon K Pablo

Can't believe I've never heard of this before. It is very up my alley and I have already started making my own junk journals

Javon K Pablo

Didn't realize I needed a note as I got it for myself. But I did get an instant download as well as one in the mail which was nice.

Javon K Pablo

So in love with the story and set up. This is my 3rd story thru mail. And the second one I purchased I didn't like at all. Annily introduced me to junk journaling and amazing recipes. I tired them all already. Definitely part of my self care day when I get a letter in.
