About this audiobook
Where do nursery rhymes come from? What did they first mean, and why do they stay with us for a lifetime? Percy B. Green looks at the rhymes we all learned as children, from Humpty Dumpty to Sing a Song of Sixpence, and digs into their history.
He explores riddles, charms, counting rhymes and the old games behind them. First published in London in 1899, the book is read here by Heather Nichols, in about two and a half hours.
For anyone curious about the stories behind the verses.
