This delightful little book is a recreation of a book of children's nursery rhymes that was published in London in the late 19th Century by an anonymous compiler. Filled with digital scans of original artwork by L. Leslie Brooke, this volume contains wonderfully familiar, traditional nursery rhymes that capture slivers of history, culture, and life from the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries.Parents and children will love sharing these words and pictures. Reading nursery rhymes helps children develop language skills and good pronunciation, while they are introduced to the pleasures of literature. Reading together will help parents and children develop deep bonds, and memories that they can pass on to future generations.The editor, Debbie Barry, collects and writes about nursery rhymes, since becoming legally blind made her unable to continue a career teaching English composition and English as a second language. She is passionate about keeping the literature of nursery rhymes alive and vibrant in the 21st Century. Recreating books of nursery rhymes that are long out-of-print and in the public domain helps her continue helping students and their families experience a love of literature and the English language.
