Cautionary Tales for Children.
*dies again*
I cannot believe that this is in print. I grew up hearing about Jim (who ran away from nurse and got eaten by a lion) and honestly would never have imagined having the complete collection of "cautionary tales" poems. In fact, the only other one I can recite is Matilda (who told lies and was burnt by fire), though I know bits of Henry King (um... the Chief Defect of Henry King was eating little bits of string) and the one that starts: The nicest boy I ever knew was Charles Augustus Fortescue (who never took a stand and sucked up to everyone and therefore went far in life).
Yeah. I want this.
