Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ballads of Boy and Beak
An oily placid smirk Plays softly round the cherub's angel features, To show the scorn that in his heart must lurk For all his paltry fellow-creatures.
A chubby, grubby, boy, Whose face and collar frequent drops of ink spatter. Mere dirt cannot his happiness destroy, Whose motto is 'it doesn't matter.'
