The 22 Letters by Clive King, Puffin Books 1966

As easiest ABC, we say, but the person who invented the ABC may have had more to suffer than many great inventors. And if you haven't been for such dramatic events as this book recount, travelled by land and sea, captures and escape, invasions and battles, and one of the most catastrophic earthquakes the world has known, perhaps the alphabet will never have come into use. Monsters comma myths, and legends hoveround the edges of this story, but the people who take part in it, resh the master builder of byblos, his three sons and sister Beth, are practical and resourceful people. The adventures are realistic ones, and all the events in this book could have happened in the ancient world, about which we know so little. A great and original vintage puffin book by Clive King.
