Description
What started as a picture dictionary became a storybook of letters. 26 letters, 26 stories. A letter per story, a story per letter. In each a world has been created in, around and starting with that letter. The brilliant, Escher-like illustrations build a fascinating world around each story. It's fun to read aloud and great fun poring over every strange and magical illustration. This book can be appreciated at different levels by different age-groups. A quite extraordinary book.
Author Biography
Tony is a young graphic designer who lives in Wellington. He's also taught English in Japan and it was while there that he began to create this. He started with the question 'Is it possible to make stories using only words which share the same initial letter?'
