"I keep six honest serving-men;
(They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Where and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
_I_ give them all a rest.
. . . . . . . . .
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small--
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes--
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!"

To this small person, Best Beloved, these twelve remarkable tales were
related. We learn how the elephant got his trunk, how the first letter
came to be written, and so forth. There are two editions of the book
at the same price. Most children will prefer the one in large octavo.
