Cautionary Verses

Hilaire Belloc's famous Cautionary Verses was first published in 1907 and has remained a constant favourite amongst adults and children ever since.

Canongate is proud to bring Belloc's unique blend of rhyme and humour to a new listening audience with this first-ever audio production of Cautionary Verses.
