This is a collection of selected verses from some six similar works of Hilaire Belloc. These are all cautionary verses specially meant for children. Moral teachings and simple practical exhortations for the children are presented in a lively rhyme form with enhancing additions in the form of some lovely illustrations.
Here is a sample:
HENRY KING WHO CHEWED BITS OF STRING, AND WAS EARLY CUT OFF IN DREADFUL AGONIES
The Chief Defect of Henry King
was chewing little bits of String.
At last he swallowed some which tied
Itself in ugly Knots inside.
Physicians of the Utmost Fame
Were called at once; but when they came
They answered,
as they took their Fees,
'There is no Cure for this Disease.
Henry will very soon be dead.'
His Parents stood about his Bed
Lamenting his Untimely Death,
When Henry, with his Latest Breath,
Cried -
'Oh, my Friends, be warned by me,
That Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch and Tea
Are all the Human Frame requires ...'
With that the Wretched Child expires.
The selections are taken from Belloc's Cautionary Tales for Children, New Cautionary Tales, The Bad Child's Book of Beasts, More Beasts for Worse Children, More Peers and Ladies and Gentlemen: For Adults Only and Mature at That.
