MOTHER HUBBARD'S PICTURE BOOK

Her neck did she CRANE, As she looked up the LANE To see the Three Bears pass by. They all went in, oddly, At the head of the Bodley An A.B.C. for to buy.

She went rather nearer To get a good look, And when she came back He had run through her book!

MOTHER HUBBARD HER PICTURE BOOK

Containing: MOTHER HUBBARD, THE THREE BEARS, & THE ABSURD A.B.C.

With the Original Coloured Pictures, an Illustrated Preface & Odds & End Papers, never before printed.

John Lane. The Bodley Head. London & New York.

PREFACE MOTHER HUBBARD, as we all know, had a cupboard which she found bare on one occasion.

Well, this is Mother Hubbard's Picture Book, and it's rather bearish, too, for there are no less than THREE BEARS therein.

But you must not suppose that the book is altogether bear, because there are other things in it.

There's Apple pie, for instance to my certain knowledge, and "victuals and drink" of sorts, as well--but I must not let the cat out of the bag all at once--besides Mother Hubbard's clever dog is still feeding it, for his day is not over yet, and he is up to all his old tricks.

When you are tired of him, and if you can manage to get past the Three Bears, you will find the rest as ABSURDly easy as A.B.C. and probably meet many old friends on the way.
