This new colouring book is packed with a series of intricate letters carefully selected from the collection of the British Library.
A medieval A to Z with letters from the collections of the British Library to colour in.
Before the invention of the printing press, books were written out by hand, and were priceless objects. The most precious books were illuminated with gold or with bright colours. Initial letters were often highlighted either as decoration or to mark an important passage.
