New Book of Nursery Rhymes and Their Meanings

From Publishers Weekly a review of a new non-fiction title written by librarian/tour guide Chris Roberts: “HEAVY WORDS LIGHTLY THROWN: THE REASON BEHIND THE RHYME” a compendium of nursery rhymes, variations on rhyme themes and the history behind them (Gotham $20 208p ISBN 1-592-40130-9).

Sounds like a blast for both Jack and Jill, Bye Bye Baby Bunting, Georgy-Porgy and all their pals.
