- Cautionary Tales for Children: Designed for the Admonition of Children between the ages of eight and fourteen years is a 1907 children's book written by Hilaire Belloc. It is a parody of the cautionary tales that were popular in the 19th century. The work is in the public domain in the United States. Illustrated by Belloc's friend from Oxford Basil Temple Blackwood, it is similar in style to The Bad Child's Book of Beasts which had brought Belloc public acclaim and commercial success a decade earlier. The book contains an introduction and eleven tales, all written in rhyming couplets.
* "Introduction: Upon being asked by a Reader whether the verses contained in this book were true."
* "Jim: Who ran away from his Nurse, and was eaten by a Lion."
* "Henry King: Who chewed bits of string, and was early cut off in Dreadful agonies."
* "Matilda: Who told Lies, and was Burned to Death."
* "Franklin Hyde: Who caroused in the Dirt and was corrected by His Uncle."
* "Godolphin Horne: Who was cursed with the Sin of Pride, and, Became a Boot-black."
* "Algernon: Who played with a Loaded Gun, and, on missing his Sister, was reprimanded by his Father."
* "Hildebrand: Who was frightened by a Passing Motor, and was brought to reason."
* "Lord Lundy: Who was too Freely Moved to Tears, and thereby ruined his Political Career."
* "Rebecca: Who Slammed Doors For Fun And Perished Miserably."
* "George: Who played with a Dangerous Toy, and suffered a Catastrophe of considerable Dimensions."
* "Charles Augustus Fortescue: Who Always Did what was Right, and so Accumulated an Immense Fortune." Four of the Cautionary Tales were set to music by Liza Lehmann in 1909; the famous contralto Clara Butt sang the piece in a successful tour of Britain in the same year. Caedmon Records released 'The Bab Ballads of WS Gilbert and Cautionary Verses of Hilaire Belloc', in 1959, on: Caedmon TC-1104. The 'Ballads' were read by Stanley Holloway; and the 'Tales', by Joyce Grenfell. The British actor Stephen Fry recorded a selection of the verses as an audiobook in 1992, and the American artist Edward Gorey created 61 new illustrations for the book, which were published posthumously in 2002. Pink Floyd writer and singer Syd Barrett used the book as the basis for the song "Matilda Mother" from the 1967 album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. (en)

Si può definire una sorta di parodia del più noto Pierino Porcospino del tedesco Heinrich Hoffmann. Divenuto molto popolare nei Paesi anglosassoni, specialmente negli Stati Uniti, in Italia è rimasto praticamente sconosciuto. (it)
- «Поучительные сказки для детей: предназначена для наставления детей в возрасте от восьми до четырнадцати лет» — детская книга английского писателя Хилэр Беллоком. Впервые вышла в свет в 1907 году. Книга является пародией на поучительные сказки, которые были популярны в XIX веке . Книга находится в общественном достоянии в США. Иллюстрации сделал художник Бэзил Темпл Блэквуд, его рисунки похожи по стилю на «Книгу зверей плохого ребенка», которая десятилетием ранее принесла Беллоку общественное признание и коммерческий успех.
