Heavy Words Lightly Thrown: The Reason Behind the Rhyme
by
Chris Roberts
About this title: Chris Roberts looks into nursery rhymes to find their real meaning in this fascinating historical survey, exploring and elucidating the backgrounds of such familiar rhymes as "Pop Goes the Weasel" and "Ring Around a Rosy," and dipping along the way into the social history that created them. Who knew that "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" was really about taxes, and that "Little Boy Blue" is very probably Charles II?
