About this book
The History of Little King Pippin is a book by Thomas Bewick. The title page promises an account of the melancholy death of four naughty boys who were devoured by wild beasts, and the wonderful delivery of Master Harry Harmless by a little white horse.
A character named Peter says he wishes he could have another pretty little Picture-Book, because he has read Mrs. Lovechild’s Golden Present so often that he can repeat it without book. Peter’s father says he has been saving a penny a week these five weeks to buy the Ladder to Learning. Harry Harmless asks the others to betake themselves to prayer to God Almighty to guard and protect them from the terrible dangers which now surrounded them. King Pippin takes on the care of Sir William Worthy’s estate and is taken into partnership by Sir William.
