Nursery Rhymes

Strong, nostalgic illustrations with a modern twist enhance this compendium of nursery rhymes. Some familiar, some less so. A delight. – Jen

Bestselling historian Robert Lacey brings together 82 of our most beloved nursery rhymes in this beautiful gift book. Robert was inspired to create this collection by the original drawings of Claud Lovat Fraser (1890-1921), who originally sketched his eye-catching images for his newly born daughter Helen. The illustrations in this modern volume have been vividly updated by artist Ben Coppin.

Alongside the traditional nursery rhymes, Robert writes on the magic of nursery rhymes, the meaning of their not-so-childish nonsense and the history behind them. Printed in Wales using the latest eco-friendly materials, this delightful anthology includes a ribbon bookmark.
