欢迎来到英国的字母部，世界上所有的文字——来自书籍、杂志、报纸、路标、海报等等——都是从这里诞生的，字母们从这里协调他们的重要任务，帮助儿童学习字母。本书讲述了查理•福克斯特的故事，他开始上学后发现掌握字母表很困难。字母部特别字母服务处的成员出发前往苏格兰帮助查理，让他敞开心扉，了解字母和文字的力量。迷人的艺术作品让人想起20世纪50年代和60年代的经典儿童读物插图，加上诙谐的文字相，使字母表中的人物栩栩如生。

Welcome to England’s Ministry of Letters, the place where all the words in the world ― in books, magazines, newspapers, road signs, posters, and more―start their lives, and from which the letters coordinate their critical missions to help children learn the alphabet. This book tells the story of Charlie Foxtrot, who starts school and finds mastering the alphabet confusing. The members of the Ministry’s Special Alphabet Service set off on a mission to Scotland to help Charlie and to open his mind to the power of letters and words. The charming artwork, reminiscent of classic children’s book illustrations from the 1950s and 1960s, combines with the witty text to bring the characters of the alphabet to life.
