If you think you know your alphabet, think again. Drawing from mythology, cosmology, history, the Bible, literature, esoteric and conventional sources, this book takes the reader on a tour of each of the twenty-six letters of the Roman alphabet. In chapters that are descriptive, illustrative and diverse, we are shown the history and development of every letter - from ancient script to present day computer alphabets- how its shape evolved, how its characteristics were encoded, and how its history, attributes, and meanings were reflected in myth, literature, science and religion.
