Blackwood, Basil Temple Cautionary Tales for Children Produced by Chris Curnow, Joseph Cooper, Anne Storer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Cautionary Tales for Children" by Hilaire Belloc is a collection of verse stories written in the early 20th century. Aimed at children aged eight to fourteen, the book shares humorous yet moralistic tales that admonish young readers about the consequences of misbehavior. Through its whimsical verses paired with illustrations, it serves both as entertainment and a cautionary guide. The book consists of a series of cautionary tales, each focusing on a different child who succumbs to their vices or mistakes, leading to humorous yet tragic outcomes. For instance, Jim runs away from his nurse and falls prey to a lion, while Matilda frequently tells lies until her deception leads to dire consequences when a real fire breaks out. Other characters include Henry King, who suffers from the indiscriminate chewing of string, and Godolphin Horne, whose pride results in an unexpected downfall. Each story concludes with a moral lesson, warning children of the potential outcomes stemming from their actions and encouraging kinder, more prudent behavior in a playful manner.
