Summary "The Knife-Grinder's Budget of Pictures & Poetry, for Boys and Girls" by Unknown is a collection of illustrated verses aimed at children, likely written in the early 19th century. This charming book blends simple poetry with delightful illustrations, addressing themes and activities familiar to young readers of that time. The content of the book features various whimsical poems that explore everyday life and animal characters in a playful manner. Each poem captures a brief scene, inviting young readers to engage with the imagery and themes, from a knife-grinder calling to attention and market scenes with huxters and barbers, to playful animals and the importance of obedience among children. The verses are light-hearted and sometimes instructive, reflecting the daily life and societal norms of its time, ultimately catering to the moral education and entertainment of its youthful audience.
