Charles Augustus Fortescue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc was an Anglo-French writer and historian who became a naturalised British subject in 1902. He was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. He was known as a writer, orator, poet, satirist, man of letters and political activist. He is most notable for his Catholic faith, which had a strong impact on most of his works and his writing collaboration with G. K. Chesterton. He was President of the Oxford Union and later MP for Salford from 1906 to 1910. He was a noted disputant, with a number of long-running feuds, but also widely regarded as a humane and sympathetic man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis most lasting legacy is probably his verse, which encompasses cautionary tales and religious poetry. Among his best-remembered poems are Jim, who ran away from his nurse, and was eaten by a lion and Matilda, who told lies and was burnt to death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCautionary Tales for Children; humorous poems with an implausible moral, beautifully illustrated by Basil Temple Blackwood (signing as \"B.T.B.\") and later by Edward Gorey, are the most widely known of his writings. Supposedly for children, they, like Lewis Carroll's works, are more to adult and satirical tastes: Henry King, Who chewed bits of string and was early cut off in dreadful agonies. A similar poem tells the story of Rebecca, who slammed doors for fun and perished miserably.","brand":"Publish This, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174072336624,"sku":"2940013842052","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013842052_p0.jpg?v=1763595428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013842052","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
