1951-12-01 · 36 pages

This anthology issue adapts classic nursery rhymes into comic stories. "Timkin" tells of a dwarf court jester who is mocked by bats at the king's palace but ultimately triumphs through kindness, earning respect and a place in the royal circus. "The King's Short Subject" follows Dennis, a boy visited by a fairy sprite who warns him against greed; when Dennis ignores her counsel and accepts a wealthy lord's offer of riches and a circus, his pride is humbled through the sprite's magic. "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater" depicts an old man from Grouchville who nearly laughs himself to death at Peter's antics but is saved by keeping his mouth covered, ultimately teaching Peter that laughter can be both joyful and dangerous.
