E. H. Shepard's King John stands crowned by the fireplace, eyeing the cards on his mantelpiece, with A. A. Milne's opening line: King John was not a good man, he had his little ways. The verse comes from Milne's 1927 book of poems for children, drawn in Shepard's pen and ink. For someone with a soft spot for a lovable rogue.
