Little Book of Old Rhymes
Cicely Barker
Hardcover
(Hippocrene Books, July 15, 1977)
Cicely Mary Barker, creator of the Flower Fairy books, brings together a collection of traditional verses, rhyming games, and old songs for May Day, New Year, and other festivals. Her glowing illustrations echo a lost world of peace and innocence reflected in these old rhymes. Many of the rhymes in this book are taken, with permission, from Mr. G. F. Northall's book "English Folk Rhymes."
