Also check out W3schools' CSS tutorials. While ePub doesn't support everything in CSS it does support a goodly portion of it.

BTW, you might find that you also need to add a font-weight attribute to the CSS suggested by theducks in order to get the effect you illustrate

.bigletter {font-size: 175%; font-weight: bold;}

I started a (Mostly Chapter heading, first paragraph coding) snippet sampler book of the things I like or just tried out . 1 page per thing each page can have its own stylesheet
This way, you also get to try it on the target device
