This work serves as a guide for young individuals, particularly children, on proper behavior and social etiquette in a refined society, emphasizing the importance of virtue over vice as they grow and learn. The opening of "Caxton's Book of Curtesye" presents a thoughtful introduction aimed at a young audience named "Lytle Johan," who is encouraged to develop virtuous habits from an early age. The text elaborates on foundational principles of conduct, suggesting a variety of manners, including how to present oneself, engage politely in conversation, and observe cleanliness.
