It began as a picture-symbol of an important animal, the aleph, or ox. Eventually, this ancient letter got turned upside down to become our letter A! For thousands of years, writing consisted only of pictures. Then people discovered they could communicate abstract ideas using symbols to represent the sounds of their language. From the Sinai Peninsula to ancient Rome, this book traces the origins and evolution of each letter. Full-color illustrations. Suggested reading.
