YOU KNOW HOW

TO GET INTO THIS BOOK

Knock at the Knocker on the Door,

Pull the Bell at the side.

Then, if you are very quiet, you will hear

a teeny tiny voice say through the grating

"Take down the Key." This you will find at the

back: you cannot mistake it, for it has J.J.

in the wards. Put the Key in the Keyhole, which

it fits exactly, unlock the door, and

WALK IN
