Books with title DK Book of Nursery Rhymes

To read the old Nursery Rhymes brings back queer lost memories of a man's own childhood. One seems to see the loose floppy picture-books of long ago, with their boldly coloured pictures. The books were tattered and worn, and my first library consisted of a wooden box full of these volumes. And I can remember being imprisoned for some crime in the closet where the box was, and how my gaolers found me, happy and impenitent, sitting on the box, with its contents all round me, reading.

These classic rhyming verses, set alongside playful illustrations, will please children and parents alike From "Humpty Dumpty" to "The Grand Old Duke of York", the sounds and rhythms of these wonderful nursery rhymes are beautifully imagined by the illustrator of the Maisy books. They're a perfect, playful introduction to the world of rhyming stories for little children.
