A gorgeous new edition of this hilarious classic anthology of moral instruction!

This omnibus of Belloc's stories is a feast of delightful tales told in rhyme - all with a dramatic moral twist in the tail. Are you prone to pulling faces, telling tales or bouts of extravagance?

Reviews for Cautionary Verses

Were you brought up on A Bad Child's Book of Beasts and Cautionary Tales - and then more of each? If so you will welcome in one volume, all the old favorites from seven earlier volumes. Moral tales, with sly wit and wisdom, illustrated with the original drawings of B.T.B. and Nicholas Bentley. Good news this, for children and parents alike. (Kirkus Reviews)
