Published in 1849, the collection preserves words passed from nurse to child and from child to child. Behind their familiar rhythms lies a question: what disappears when nobody writes them down?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNursery songs, lullabies and tales sit alongside rhymes rooted in country life, local customs, weather and belief. Halliwell-Phillipps groups the material by use, with notes on its origins and changes. Some verses carry the names of places and families; others hold a town’s joke or grievance within a few memorable lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeyond the nursery\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore the idea that many verses children chant are not originally meant for them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSongs that soothe\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet nursery songs and lullabies grouped by their place in a child’s daily life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry life in verse\u003c\/strong\u003e – Find traces of customs, weather and belief tucked into short, memorable rhymes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe pleasure of sound\u003c\/strong\u003e – Say the verses aloud and enjoy their strong beats, expected rhymes and nonsense words.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWords worth keeping\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow notes on where these verses come from and how they change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for lovers of folklore, old words and childhood history, and parents or teachers curious about the roots of familiar rhymes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and hear what these small verses have carried across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534644904284,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/03599_en_ebook-front_c20.jpg?v=1792174999","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/de\/products\/beliebte-reime-und-kindermaerchen","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
