Why Q Needs U by Danny Bate
Why Q Needs U explores the history, evolution and oddities of the English alphabet, tracing how letters developed their shapes, sounds and roles over centuries. Through short, self-contained chapters it explains everyday puzzles — why Q usually needs a U, why some letters are silent, and how different pronunciations arose — while revealing connections across languages without giving away surprises.
