Overview

In this darkly funny and deliciously twisted collection of modern cautionary tales, children who lie, cheat, and misbehave meet the most dreadful of ends. Meet the girl whose lies lead to a most unfortunate encounter with the dreaded Propeller Man, the boy whose own filthy bedroom turns against him, and the child who watches so much TV he becomes the very chair in which he sits. Inspired by the wicked works of Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann and Hilaire Belloc, these rhyming tales warn of the terrible consequences awaiting those who refuse to mend their ways. Perfect for older children with a taste for the macabre (and adults who never outgrew their love for Roald Dahl and Edward Gorey), this collection is a gleefully sinister reminder that reckless behaviour never goes unpunished… Read at your peril!
