Types of Children's Literature by Walter Barnes Little Miss MuffetSat on a tuffet, Eating of curds and whey;Along came a spiderAnd sat down beside her, Which frightened Miss Muffet away. * * * * * Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son JohnWent to bed with his stockings on;One shoe off, the other shoe on, Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John. * * * * * "Let's go to bed,"Says Sleepy-head; "Let's stay awhile," says Slow;"Put on the pot,"Says Greedy-sot, "We'll sup before we go." * * * * * Jack Sprat could eat no fat, His wife could eat no lean: And so betwixt them both, you see, They licked the platter clean. * * * * * There was a little girl, And she had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead;When she was good, She was very, very good; But when she was bad-she was horrid. [Footnote: Attributed to Longfellow.] * * * * * Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water;Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. * * * * * We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
