  In modern society writing a letter, on paper, is almost unheard of.  We all scribble notes and reminders but very rarely compose our thoughts in lengthy prose for another person to read. 
     
  In bygone days the letter was the fastest and most accurate means of communication.  Letters were sent and delivered at incredible speeds, summoning this and requesting that.  
   
  Within its lines and paragraphs all manner of pleadings and heartfelt wordings were made—from romance to business—the world of infinite colour was all there in simple black and white. 
   
  In this volume our talented authors bring us a plethora of narratives that centre themselves on how vital a few lines on a page are to characters navigating through the twists and turns of a story. 
   
  Genius in every page.
