More about the book

Satirizing 19th-century children's literature, this collection features seven macabre parodies that highlight the absurd consequences of misbehavior. Through whimsical tales, Belloc introduces characters like Jim, who is eaten by a lion for letting go of his nurse's hand, and Matilda, whose lies lead to her fiery demise. The stories blend humor with dark lessons, making them appealing to more sophisticated readers. Presented in a classic picture book format, this edition offers a playful yet critical reflection on childhood morality and punishment.
