Kitty Burns Florey follows up her wonderful book on diagramming sentences (SISTER BERNADETTE`S BARKING DOG) with a fascinating look at the history of handwriting--an art in danger of dying in the era of the computer. Her charming book begins with the pictograms of the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians, describes the evolution of writing instruments from quills to fountain pens to ballpoints, tells the story Platt Rogers Spencer, the "father of handwriting," chronicles the rise of the ubiquitous Palmer Method in the early 20th century, and contemplates what it means now that handwriting is falling into the shadow of the keyboard. Florey intersperses this intriguing history with reminiscences of her own handwriting training as a young girl in a Catholic school and inspired musings on our relationship to language. SCRIPT AND SCRIBBLE is a compelling little book that flows with the ease and elegance of a perfect line of cursive.
