This book contains letters about a series of events and was curated by Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire. It was designed in part to revive the lost art of letter writing and in part to highlight a diverse range of female talent. The events raise money for Edgar's Mission, the Victorian animal rescue shelter.
