Summary "An A. B. C. of every-day people: Good, bad & indifferent" by G. E. Farrow is a whimsical children's illustrated book likely written in the early 20th century. This unique work takes the form of an alphabet book, introducing readers to a series of characters that embody various personality traits represented by each letter from A to Z. The book seems aimed at providing both entertainment and moral lessons, making it accessible and enjoyable for younger audiences. The book features a delightful cast of characters, each personified through playful verses and charming illustrations. For example, A is for the "Amiable," who embodies friendliness, while Z is for the "Zealous Zoologist," who is depicted examining a hippopotamus. Each character has a short, engaging poem that describes their qualities, allowing children to learn about virtues and vices through enjoyable rhymes. Overall, the book serves as both a lighthearted alphabet guide and a playful exploration of human behaviors and characteristics, inviting readers to reflect on the diversity of personality traits in everyday life.
