Summary
First published in 1870 to great success, this classic collection of nursery rhymes set to music was for decades one of the most beloved of children's songbooks. For years, copies have been hard to find and prized by collectors. This book can now be enjoyed by a new generation. J. W. Elliott's melodies perfectly capture the charms of the texts and many, including "Sing a Sing of Sixpence," have become inseparable from the original rhymes. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful engravings by the renowned Dalziel brothers, this attractive volume will be treasured by children and adults alike. Piano accompaniment included.
