This elegantly produced collection of classic nursery rhymes is accompanied by richly imaginative drawings by Mervyn Peake. First published in 1940, and now reissued for the first time, this is a charming children's gift book that will also be sought after by enthusiasts for the work of the inimitable Peake. It includes family favorites Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Old King Cole, I Had a Little Nut Tree, Doctor Foster went to Glo'ster, Sing a Song of Sixpence, Little Jack Horner, and Jack Sprat.
