"Rhymes and Meters: A Practical Manual for Versifiers" by Horatio Winslow was compiled with one end in view: to arrange in a convenient and inexpensive form the fundamental rules of verse. This book was enough of a resource for students who take up verse as a literary exercise and for the older verse writer who has fallen into a rut or who is a bit shaky on theory. It is even hoped that there may be a word of help for some fledgling poets.
‘Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales’ is a collection of classic fairy tales and nursery rhymes, penned by the legendary (and only some claim imaginary), ‘Mother Goose.’ They have inspired many folklorists and illustrators (including Charles Perrault, Arthur Rackham, Jessie Willcox-Smith and Jennie Harbour) – as well as countless generations of children and parents. Included are classic rhymes such as ‘Pat a Cake’, ‘This Little Piggie Went to Market’, ‘Hey Diddle Diddle’, ‘A Song of Sixpence’, and many more. This edition is profusely illustrated throughout, with woodcuts from many Golden Age illustrators such as John Gilbert, John Tenniel, Harrison Weir, Walter Crane, W. McConnell and others. Originally published in 1896, it also includes six delightful colour plates. The illustrations are presented in conjunction with the ‘Mother Goose Rhymes’ – both aspects further refining and elucidating the other. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
This is the first anthology to be devoted exclusively to light verse composed by British authors in undivided India, plus a few items illustrating parallel experiences in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Written overwhelmingly by the junior ranks of the military and civil service, these works constitute a ‘running commentary’ on the Raj from below. The typical subaltern liked to picture himself as unduly put upon, unfairly ignored, and inexplicably underrated. Before departure for India, the impressionable heads of young recruits could all too easily be filled with stories of immense fortunes to be easily made by ‘shaking the Pagoda Tree’. Once in India, such dreams quickly evaporated for a variety of reasons – the climate, the isolation, the slow pace or complete lack of career advancement, illness, or untimely death. Whatever the authors may have lacked in technical skill and refinement of poetical expression, they more than made up for by the vast range of subject-matter tackled and the outspokenness of the reactions recorded – amusing, surprising, shocking, scurrilous, abusive or otherwise thoroughly distasteful. As witnesses to both attitudes and events, these verses are of enormous value to social and cultural as well as political historians of nineteenth-century India.
