Synopsis

Told in rhyming couplets and illustrated by the author, this time-honoured collection sets out a series of cautionary tales with darkly comic intent. The verses describe the grim consequences faced by children who torment animals, play with matches, suck their thumbs, refuse to eat, or fidget at the table.

Often noted for its influence and enduring popularity, it remains a distinctive example of moral storytelling in children’s literature, suited to readers exploring classic illustrated verse.
