But it was felt that such a Painting Book might well be more than a mere book of pictures: that the illustrations might with advantage be accompanied by stories and verses, which should serve a double purpose, being both explanatory of the characters and incidents, and therefore useful to the young artist, and at the same time interesting to readers, who might not themselves be engaged in colouring the pictures. The book, therefore, assumed its present form, and it is hoped that the stories and verses herein contained may have some enduring interest of their own, apart altogether from the original purpose of the book.
