Reader's note

These verses need no introduction from us, no explanation or word of praise. They stand already among the living classics. Those, whether children or grown-ups, who already know them will surely give a warm welcome to this edition, so convenient to fit in your bag! This Puffin is not exclusively for children, humour is ageless. We hope that Belloc's absurd moral tales and his almost more absurd introductions to the beasts will be discovered with joy by boys and girls of all ages. This introductory poem sets the tone beautifully - Child! do not throw this book about; Refrain from the unholy pleasure, Of cutting all the pictures out! Preserve it as your chiefest treasure. Child, have you never heard it said, That you are heir to all the ages? Why, then, your hands were never made, To tear these beautiful thick pages!
