Pepper & Salt: Seasoning for Young Folk - Paperback

by Howard Pyle (Author)

Pepper and Salt, by Howard Pyle, is a wonderful collection of children's stories and poetry. Written at the turn of the century when children's literature was at its peak, its charming illustrations and fascinating tales impart valuable lessons in a way that is meant to both entertain and elevate young readers.

The author writes, "One must have a little pinch of seasoning in this dull, heavy life of ours; one should never look to have all the troubles, the labors, and the cares, with never a whit of innocent jollity and mirth. Yes; one must smile now and then, if for nothing else than to lift the corners of the lips in laughter that are only too often dragged down in sorrow."

The illustrations, drawn by one of the greatest artists who ever lived-the author himself-are both rollicking and lovely, and perfectly complete this clever and altogether delightful book. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.
