The Post
About The Post
A letter follows a traveler and keeps missing him. Mikhail Tsekhanovsky and N. Timofeev's cartoon, from Samuil Marshak's poem, sends the letter after Boris Zhitkov through several countries. He only gets it when he is back in Leningrad. The catalog names the addressee Boris Prutkov and starts the route in Rostov, with stops missed in Leningrad, Berlin, and London.
