Unusual way to learn history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Although purportedly about letters, this book is really about some of the most remarkable people and events throughout history. The letters, interesting in their own right, serve more as the jumping off point. Beautifully illustrated and well written, this is a fascinating book which can be sipped a little at a time -- or consumed in a single sitting! Highly recommended for any student of history of the fine art of letter writing.
