A MORAL ALPHABET.
A MORAL ALPHABET
A playful Victorian‑styled alphabet brings readers through a parade of odd characters, from bold bears and sneaky cobras to lofty judges and wandering horsemen. Each letter opens with a short, rhymed vignette that mixes gentle satire with a tidy moral, inviting listeners to smile at the absurdities while catching a whisper of old‑world wisdom.
The collection shuffles between fanciful beasts, quirky families, and modest folk, all rendered with lively illustrations that complement the verse. Its light‑hearted tone makes it a charming companion for children learning about language and behavior, while the witty commentary offers a nostalgic treat for adults. Listeners will enjoy the rhythmic storytelling and the simple, memorable lessons that linger long after the alphabet is recited.

1870–1953
A lively and often sharp-edged voice of early 20th-century letters, this French-born British writer moved easily between history, politics, satire, travel writing, and verse. He is still especially remembered for his energetic prose and for the darkly funny poems in Cautionary Tales for Children.
