From minding your Ps and Qs to wondering why X should mark the spot, Alphabetical is a book for everyone who loves words and language. Whether it's how letters are arranged on keyboards or Viking runes, textspeak or zip codes, this book will change the way you think about letters forever. How on earth did we fix upon our 26 letters? What do they really mean? And how did we come to write them down in the first place? Michael Rosen takes you on an unforgettable adventure through the history of the alphabet in 26 vivid chapters, fizzing with personal anecdotes and fascinating facts.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Good book but narrator refers to PDF many times and it is not available for this book
What does Michael Rosen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Pleasant voice
Any additional comments?
Would be MUCH improved by a PDF!
