Cautionary Tales for Children

Cautionary Tales for Children

Hilaire Belloc

Harcourt Brace International
2002
sidottu
For readers of any age, a witty and strikingly irreverent collection of moral guidance Most notable among prolific English satirist Hilaire Belloc's writings are the sharp and clever admonishments he composed for children. Collected here and illustrated to wonderful haunting effect by Edward Gorey, these short, funny pieces offer moral instruction for all types of mischief makers--from a certain young Jim, who ran away from his nurse and was eaten by a lion, to the tale of Matilda, who told lies and was burned to death"--and add up to a delightful read for any fan of Roald Dahl or Shel Silverstein.

Hilaire Belloc's landmark study Characters of the Reformation argues that Western Europe's break from the Catholic Church was driven by a land-grab and looting of Church property by European noblemen. Belloc has little admiration for the so-called leaders of the time and credits the Reformation to behind-the-scenes players.

An insightful essay which provides a perfect overview of how what has now become known as the "mainstream media" engages in the invention of fake news through the manipulation of events, half-truths, total omissions, and outright lies. Written more than a century ago, and dealing with what was then the printed media, the author's observations, evidence, and conclusions are just as applicable today as they were at the time. Belloc starts out by accurately describing the media as the "Capitalist Press," which, contrary to its claims, does not "serve" the public but is rather a clique of hidden manipulators who seek only two things: the advancement of their ideological agendas, and to sell their newspapers. Belloc contrasts the Capitalist Press with the smaller, genuinely free and independent press, which cannot rely on the advertising revenue which powers their larger competitors, but which tends more toward the truth for that very reason. The newspaper owners, he says, are an unelected, unaccountable, undemocratic group of millionaires, more powerful than sovereign governments and elected officials. They have the power to make or break politicians, and to present their own agenda in such a way as to claim that it is "public opinion." Belloc's conclusion-that the Capitalist Press's power would be broken by the "Free Press" was overly optimistic. In fact, the decades following the appearance of this book saw the Capitalist Press grow ever stronger, particularly through its acquisition of the movie and television industry. Through these media, the lies and distortions against which the author warned would be amplified even beyond his imagining. It would only be through the emergence of the Internet that the Free Press would eventually be given an equal platform with the Capitalist Press, a development which the author would have no doubt savored.
