The two little legs of the H, entangled with fiery tongues and other body parts - represent 'Horny'. The B, formed by two little birds lovingly interlocking their beaks - stands for 'Lovebirds'.

Armed with nothing but red, black, and white – and tons of inspiration – illustrator Sanny Winters transforms each letter into an icon of love. Her 'alphabet of love' is world-class. In this new book her love for letters and for love itself come together.

Winters' illustrations are interspersed with excerpts from world literature, from Oscar Wilde over Sandor Marai to Sally Rooney.
