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
Remembered for sharp wit, strong opinions, and wonderfully memorable verse, this Anglo-French writer moved easily between poetry, history, essays, and travel writing. His books can be playful or combative, but they nearly always sound like they were written by a vivid personality.
