There are many different typefaces (technical term for font :D) out there!. There are websites that you can download free fonts from like fontfreak, and you search through them until you find one you like (for a storybook probably something medieval looking or calligraphy related)!. Once you download it, make sure its under C/Windows/Fonts where all your other fonts are so you can use it in any program!. Then if you are using photoshop make this letter larger and perhaps inlayed over a scroll type shape to make it seem more authentic!. Best of luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

That first character is called a initial!. The old german fonts are popular for this (search for Fraktur; the name of this kind of fonts, the style), however, in some countries they can be seen as the old nazi-german style (these fonts were often used in official nazi-documents and propaganda)!. But keep in mind that your font-choice depends on what your text is about!. It can be better to go for a more modern font if it's subject is about "modern" things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
