_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._
