I love writing zany humorous stories about all sorts of things. I saw my first post box topper a few years ago in my hometown. It was a celebration of the American artist, Bob Ross. I was so impressed that I detoured regularly to pass the post box to see if whoever had created the topper did another. A few weeks later, I was pleased to see a Christmas-themed topper, and that’s what gave me the idea of writing a short story. First, I tried to imagine a group of people who knitted post box toppers, and the problems associated with designing and then knitting them. The story was set in a fictional village, and I came up with the Creaping Bottom Post Box Topper Society. I’d only intended to write one short story, but I enjoyed the characters so much, I thought I’d write another one for January. And then – as has happened so often in the past – I wondered if I could write another story… Eventually, I decided to write one for each month, concluding with a spectacular Christmas-themed post box topper, which was nothing like the disaster the club had created the previous December.

The newly formed Creaping Bottom Post Box Topper Society is determined to knit stunning post box toppers each month. Despite their January topper being labeled a disgrace and an eyesore by an anonymous email, the team continues knitting creatively themed toppers every month: hearts for February, daffodils and books for March, eggs for April, and a coronation topper for May. They begin to garner local and national sensation. With mysterious attempts to sabotage their toppers and more anonymous emails from the elusive A. Godbin, a vindictive hairstylist, and a peeved local journalist, the Society faces challenges beyond dropped stitches and thinking up creative toppers monthly. The Post Box Topper Chronicles by Dawn Knox is a lighthearted and endearing story that readers will relish.
If the book cover did not give it away, The Post Box Topper Chronicles is a humorous, laugh-out-loud read filled with quirky and hilarious characters. Beryl constantly schemes to promote her coffee and cake shop, while Sally pines for the oblivious Levi. Stuart, the tight-fisted accountant, has a unique talent for lopsided knitting, and Vera, the group’s beleaguered Chairperson, keeps everything from unraveling. The book delights with its comedic elements, including alien sightings, a vengeful hairstylist, and the Creaping Bottom Post Box Topper Society's relentless planning for the next month’s post box topper, all amidst plenty of cake. Dawn Knox weaves together a tale of camaraderie, creativity, and the occasional chaos of community projects. This is a warm, humorous read that offers laughs and heartwarming moments, perfect for anyone needing a good chuckle and a cozy story.
