Ditties for the Nursery - Iona Opie, Monica Walker
KORTE INHOUD
These are some of the rhymes which delighted children in the reign of George III. They were first published about 1805 under the title:
'Original Ditties for the Nursery,
So Wonderfully Contrived that
they may be either Sung or Said,
by Nurse or Baby'.
Among the rhymes in these pages are 'Tweedledum and Tweedledee', which Lewis Carroll introduced into 'Alice', Little Jenny Flinders, Squire Frog's Visit - an excellent version of a song which was old when the first Queen Elizabeth was a child - and A Framer went trotting upon his grey mare, which became renowned when Randolph Caldecott illustrated it in 1884.
The illustrations for this new edition, which evoke the period of the book's first publication, have been drawn by Monica Walker
