Nesbit is a collection of whimsical poems that takes a light-hearted approach to historical figures and events, likely written in the early 20th century. Each poem explores a different character from history, using humor and rhyme to present their stories in an engaging way. The book serves as a playful exploration of well-known historical figures, making history accessible and entertaining to readers of all ages. Throughout the book, Nesbit employs a unique blend of clever verse and illustrations that complement the narratives, ranging from Alexander the Great to Charles Dickens. Each poem encapsulates interesting anecdotes and notable accomplishments, while often poking fun at the quirks and flaws of the characters. For instance, the poem on Diogenes humorously highlights his search for an honest man, while the piece on Columbus reflects on his journey and fame. Overall, "An Alphabet of History" combines education and entertainment, making history both memorable and enjoyable.
