Tony Sarg’s Alphabet, illustrated by Tony Sarg and written by Anne Stoddard, is a delightful children’s book from 1926. Each letter of the alphabet is playfully depicted in blue, magenta, yellow, and black, accompanied by emblematic imagery. Most of the letters reference well-known children’s literary tales or rhymes. For instance, “G” stands for Gulliver’s Travels, “Q” for the Queen of Hearts, and “Y” for Yankee Doodle. The book provides an accidental glimpse into popular media enjoyed by children during the 1920s. It’s a charming exploration of language and imagination, bound in illustrated paper over boards with lush endpapers.
