Wildly funny and macbre pre-e. gorey humour. In Bellocs world all manner of mishap befall the contumacios child. His prose may seem acrimonious and vituperative, but Belloc possesses a perspicacious wit and alacrity, with which he tenderly disects, and leaves you wanting more.
A fun book for young children to learn poetry.
Funny, and so stylistically charming that it's easy to forgive how uneven it can be. When it works, it flies off the goddamn page.
