Synopsis This work was an entry in the category Non-Fiction/Information in the Competition for Writers of Children's books organized by Children's Book Trust. Communities have developed from old times to the new, different writing styles. Some write from right to left and some from left to right: the Mexicans write from bottom to top. Each language has evolved from the needs of the people, their environment and the tools available to them. Writing reflects certain cultural aspects. The cave drawings make the beginning. From these to alphabets, to languages, calligraphy and printing with its technology - the journey has taken many long centuries. This is the story of that journey.
