The written word

My grandmother taught me to read before I started school, using a Victorian primer, Reading Without Tears. I think she had learned from the same book.

The first pages introduced the capital letters as in my illustration making it easy to remember their shapes, even more so because of the quaintness.

I found you through Jim's blog. He's a cool guy.
