Before there were the dear dragon kid's books of today, there was
Dear Dragon: And Other Useful Letter Forms for Young Ladies and Gentlemen Engaged in Everyday Correspondence
by Sesyle Joslin, illustrated Irene Haas
This little gem of a book from 1962 is an inspiration to letter writers. A "beguiling and practical series of letters showing [children] what to write for all kinds of occasions." Do any of you remember this, or "What Do You Say, Dear?" or others of that ilk?
Any other letter writing inspirations in print you'd like to share?
