Description

"A fascinating guide to the hidden meanings of well-known nursery rhymes." British author Chris Roberts has extensively researched the origins of many popular nursery rhymes. Many of these rhymes are just nonsense words, but many have their roots in history. The author did not shy away from whatever truths he uncovered. Amusingly illustrated, but a book for adults.
