Liberally sprinkled with the stylish and amusing woodcut-style illustrations of Michael Foreman. Into the origin and development of the comic alphabet from Old English and Medieval Greek down to the 1960's.Partridge has gone with that fusion of wit and scholarship which he has made peculiarly his own." Foreman's first book!
