Peter Piper

Excerpt from Peter PiperPeter piper, you are seventeen and three-quarter years old. You're not a kid any more, and your old diary is full, and you've got a talkative mood on, so, while you're starting on a new blank book, you might just as well give an account of yourself. I suppose anyone else would think it funny to write everything that happens down as I do, but I guess if they hadn't got anyone to talk to from one year's end to the other, except father and Dick, they'd just long to have a real old yarn with someone now and again. Ever since I was fifteen I've done it. I don't really keep a proper diary; I scarcely ever date things, and sometimes I don't put anything down for a couple of months if things are too dull and uninteresting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
