The Conceited Pig (1852)

Book Overview

The Conceited Pig is a children's book written by Harrison Weir and first published in 1852. The story follows the adventures of a proud and arrogant pig who thinks he is better than all the other animals on the farm. The pig spends his days preening and boasting about his superior intelligence and beauty, much to the annoyance of his fellow creatures. However, when a cunning fox comes to the farm and tricks the pig into giving him all his food, the conceited pig finally learns a valuable lesson about humility and the dangers of being too self-absorbed. The book is beautifully illustrated with charming black and white drawings that bring the farmyard setting to life. Weir's simple yet engaging storytelling style makes this book a timeless classic that will delight young readers and teach them important moral lessons about pride, humility, and the importance of treating others with kindness and respect.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
