In Literature

The Alderney is mentioned in a verse of A. A. Milne's poem The King's Breakfast:

The Dairymaid
She curtsied,
And went and told
The Alderney:
"Don't forget the butter for
The Royal slice of bread."
The Alderney
Said sleepily:
"you'd better tell
His Majesty
That many people nowadays
Like marmalade
Instead."

Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.... the essay must be pure—pure like water or pure like wine, but pure from dullness, deadness, and deposits of extraneous matter.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
