Compiled by Andrew Lang and illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke, The Nursery Rhyme Book (1897) is one of the finest Victorian collections of traditional English nursery rhymes — gathering hundreds of the verses that have been sung and recited to English-speaking children for centuries, from ‘Jack and Jill’ and ‘Humpty Dumpty’ to ‘Little Miss Muffet’ and ‘Old Mother Hubbard’.
Both a charming reading experience and a valuable record of oral verse tradition, this free EPUB presents the complete collection cleanly formatted for reading on any device.
