Nursery Rhymes:

The nursery rhymes that make up our collection are taken from the original Mother Goose rhymes. They are the classics from our childhood, with all the original verses and all the parts of rhymes that one usually hums over due to having forgotten the words. They are therefore full of wonderful and merry memories for most of us and discoveries for the rest of us.

That being said they are also the province of the childhood of the past and are therefore somewhat surprising in their brutality, their honesty and at times their frightening lack of political correctness! We are given to worrying greatly over the television our children watch and the violence they are exposed to in the modern era, these rhymes are an amusing reminder of the fairly harsh nature of childhood before it began to be agreed that children should be protected. Children, of course, love them, but these rhymes should probably contain a parental warning…!
