A compiler sets out to gather rhymes not already found in the usual nursery books, many of them collected by ear from people who did not know where they came from. The collection groups couplets, weather and season rhymes, baby songs, verses about men, women and children, beasts and birds, alphabets, game rhymes and cumulative chants like the tale of the Nanny that eats the grapes.
A treasure for folklorists and parents alike, with local variants of old friends. Download the free EPUB.
