Each month, subscribers receive a new letter from a fictional family inspired by real stories, slowly uncovering their secrets, relationships, and past. Every envelope also includes handmade artwork, stickers, a postcard, and thoughtful paper keepsakes designed for a quiet moment away from screens.

El Árbol is a monthly story (IN SPANISH!)  told through the private correspondence of a fictional family inspired by real family histories. With every envelope, new voices, relationships, secrets, and memories are revealed, allowing readers to piece together the family’s story one letter at a time.
Each delivery includes original letters from different members of the family, along with handmade art, collectible stickers, an illustrated postcard, a keepsake phrase, and a gentle reflection inspired by that month’s chapter. Some pieces are made to keep, others to share, and all are created to make opening the mail feel special again.
El Árbol was created by our family after a Sunday spent reading old letters, looking through photographs, and sharing stories about the people who came before us. We wanted to create something slower and more intimate: a story that does not arrive through a screen, but inside a real envelope, carefully prepared by hand.
It is like opening a box of memories that are not yours, yet somehow could be. No notifications. No endless scrolling. Just paper, mystery, handmade details, and a family story that unfolds month by month.

Life at Rookscroft carries on in its cosy comforting way, and you can be part of that world every month when, a lovingly crafted letter from your friends beyond the sea arrives in your letterbox.

Its stories begin when Jayne, an artist and narrator, discovers that the animals living around her old house have lives, friendships and adventures entirely of their own.
It all begins when Vernon, a self-important pheasant and hat-maker, appears at the study window demanding a portrait, and soon we meet Quentin, a poetry-writing golden pheasant who lives beneath a rose bush and many other wonderful creatures whose lives run parallel to our own. Robin, an endlessly cheerful little quail, is found in a vegetable basket and, as the world grows, travelling circus animals, mysterious cats, ravens, bears, and others wander into their lives.


The stories are cosy, whimsical and often funny, but they're also about friendship, loneliness, belonging and found family.


Letters from Rookscroft lets you follow their lives through the seasons. Each month, a new piece of correspondence from Rookscroft arrives in the post, accompanied by original artwork, tiny letters from the island's inhabitants, and little keepsakes tied to the everyday life and stories happening there.
