Peter Piper's practical principles of plain and perfect pronounciation - LeRoy Phillips
KORTE INHOUD
Everyone has heard of the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked. This is the book from which the durable rhyme came, a tiny classic with perennial appeal for adults no less than for generations of children.
From Andrew Airpump, who ask'd his Aunt her Ailment, to Walter Waddle, who won a walking Wager, there is a tongue-twisting jingle for every letter of the alphabet and XYZ together. On each page are the quaint illustrations which first appeared in the exceedingly rare original edition of 1830. For all the playful whimsy of the rhymes, they serve the practical purpose intended: the child who masters these small pages must surely achieve "plain and perfect pronounciation."
Educators, librarians, antiquaires and bibloiphiles will be as delighted as parents and their children to see Peter Piper and his Playfull Puzzles back in print again, with the famous Prattling Preface and all.
Unabriged reproduction of the Stetson Press (1911) edition, which is a facsimile of the sinlge surviving copy of the 1830 ed...
