A captivating assortment of original mini-stories, ranging from heart-wrenching to spine-chilling, shared through the unique and timeless medium of postcards

A couple on vacation slowly realizes that they are unable to return to their normal lives in London due to mysterious forces. A man anxiously waits for his friend in Brussels as the violent cascade of events leading to the outbreak of WWI begin to unfold around him. A woman sends one-sided, and increasingly desperate, confessions of love as understanding dawns that her lover is with someone else.

In this collection of original writing, leading authors including J.G. Ballard, Charles Boyle, Nicci French, and Will Self create compelling narratives that challenge literary structure and strengthen the bond between image and text. Each story is told as though it were written on the back of a postcard, accompanied by images of beautiful buildings, stunning landscapes, and smiling faces. Featuring nearly eighty full-color illustrations, the collection invites readers to journey through a vivid tapestry of stories where words and visuals come together to spark the imagination.

Whether the locations are familiar or entirely fictional, the postcards offer glimpses into larger narratives, hints of entire lives unfolding. Having a Wonderful Time is a set of powerful love letters to language, storytelling, and the inspiration that it can spark in our hearts.
