This seems to me to be an assemblage of rhymes that will serve as a
fundamental reference tool for years to come, but one that adults
will use with children rather than children seek out for
themselves. It is a collection that ties in with the same editors'
Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes There are some 800 Jingles,
riddles, catches, counting rhymes, games, alphabets, prayers and
song. Like is corn bined with like to provide nine sections, with
the age levels progressive. The earlier sections have
illustrations, based on originals from chapbooks and toybooks of
the 18th and 19th centuries, for virtually every rhyme, while the
older sections have perhaps one or two to a page. (Kirkus Reviews)
The Oxford Nursery Rhyme Book contains 800 nursery rhymes and
ditties which are the heritage of our oral tradition. All the
well-known rhymes are included as well as many rare ones. Special
sections are devoted to lullabies and dandling rhymes, toe rhymes,
catches, charms, traditional street cries, riddle verses, nursery
maxims, and humorous ballads. The text is further enlivened by 600
illustrations, many of them eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
woodcuts and engravings.
