Y the Youthful.
This is the girlish and youthful Miss Y,
Who’ll bestow a sweet smile as she passes you by.
To look younger than ever
Is her constant endeavour;
Though her age you will probably guess, if you try.
Y THE YOUTHFUL
About This Book
The collection arranges short rhyming vignettes around the alphabet, assigning each letter to a comical everyday character — from the amiable and industrious to the knavish and the zealous zoologist. Each entry pairs a playful poem with character traits and small scenes that gently satirize manners, moods, and social types, often with light, child-friendly humor and illustrative lines. The result is an accessible, whimsical catalog of personality sketches meant for young readers and casual perusal.
