St Mary's Books is proud to present The Folio Society's 1997 collection of Hilaire Belloc's Cautionary Tales and Other Verses - 160 pages of darkly humourous poems, which parody overly moralistic Victorian children's stories. Alongside the exceptionally striking title page, the poems are also accompanied by expressive illustrations by Posy Simmonds which add to the comedic nature of the verse. This edition is bound in green and yellow cloth adorned with printed colour illustrations by Simmonds on the front and back cover and it comes housed in a bright red slipcase. There is some light marking on the front and back cover and some rubbing on the edge of the spine, but the book and slipcase is otherwise in very good condition. This is the perfect collection for fan of satire and dark comedy.
