Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from National Rhymes of the Nursery

Perhaps, therefore, while not grudging folklorists their perquisitions in this delightful region, and while acknow ledging that there are many interesting things to be found out by them in it, we may be permitted to look at nursery rhymes from a rather different point of View. And from this point it will not, I think, be fanciful to see in them, to a great extent, the poetical appeal of sound as opposed to that of meaning expressed in its simplest and most unmistakable terms. We shall find in these pieces the two special pillars of all modern poetry, alliteration and rhyme, or at least assonance, which is only rhyme undeveloped.
