Classic nursery rhymes are set in gilded letters and traditional paintings by Walter Crane. A detailed preface provides historic details of the earliest publishing of children's books and the importance that Walter Crane played in that history. For the Absurd ABC each upper-case letter caste in gold is presented with a silly two-line rhyme: "F for the frog in the story you know, Begun with the wooing but ending in woe". Shows a frog and his ukulele weaning a damsel frog on the balcony.
