THE HISTORY OF LITTLE KING PIPPIN - A Lesson for all children

By Thomas Bewick

In olden times, and indeed today, a great many silly boys spend their money on sweets, pastries or ice lollies, or some such trash, and when they have eaten it, would they be the better for it? Why not at all.
Peter did not spend his money in such an idle and trivial manner; whenever he was given money, he bought food for his mind, instead of his belly, and as you will find out in the course of this book. Afterwards he reaped the benefit of doing this.
What adventures did he have, whom did he meet on these adventure and what were the benefits he reaped? Did he really become a King? Enough with the questions, you’ll just have to download and read this book and find out for yourself.
Lesson: spend your money wisely and beware of fools.

Would you be learned, good, and great,

Our Hero strive to imitate;

For Merit was the only Thing

That made poor Pippin's Son a King.

Peter Pippin was the son of Gaffer and Gammer Pippin,

Who liv'd at the Ivy-house under the hill,

And if they are not gone, they live there still.

This is the house, and a pretty little snug place it is, and there is Peter and his father and mother at the door. Daddy, says Peter, I wish I could have another pretty little Picture-Book, for I have read Mrs. Lovechild's Golden Present so often, that I can repeat it without book. I am very glad to hear it, Peter, says his father, and I wish I could afford to buy you books as fast as you can learn them.
