Robert Ford gathered from memory and from far and wide the rhymes, singing games, counting-out verses, songs and stories of Scottish children, and arranged them with his own commentary. Nursery rhymes sit beside rhyme-games of the playground and old favourites such as Cock Robin, Simple Simon and Old Mother Hubbard, along with children’s comic howlers.
A treasure for anyone curious about Scottish folklore and the oral culture of the nursery and playground. Download the free EPUB.
