“Doctor Foster went to Glo’ster, In a shower of rain; He stepped in a puddle right up to his middle, And never went there again.” A bumper crop of nursery rhymes for the delight of the very young. In his Introduction, Jerrold explains how his selection was based on earlier collections made by John Newbery, Joseph Ritson and James Orchard Halliwell. He goes on to add, “ Students divide our rhymes into narrative pieces, historical folk-lore, game rhymes, counting-out rhymes, jingles, fragments, etcetera, but for the children for whom and by whom they are remembered, and for whom they are here collected and pictured anew, they are just — Nursery Rhymes.”

Excerpt from Earl Kitchener of Khartoum: The Story of His Life IT was not, perhaps, until after the triumphant vindication of his policy as Sirdar in Egypt, that the name of Herbert Kitchener became widely known, though for more than twenty years before the final breaking of the Mahdi's power and the completion of the re-conquest of the Soudan, it was familiar to many people as that of a strong, self-reliant young officer of the Engineers who was certain to be heard of. It was known to those who had studied the progress of affairs in Egypt during the tragic eighties, and it was familiar to those who were interested in the wonderful work achieved in the Holy Land during the seventies by the officers engaged by the Committee of the Pales tine Exploration Fund. During the past sixteen or eighteen years it has become familiar in our months as a household word. And during that time, too, there may be said to have grown up something of a Kitchener legend some thing of an impression of a somewhat sombre,8 earl kitchener OF khartoum.

Big Book of Nursery Rhymes

Portland House

Every child's bookshelf should start with a collection of nursery rhymes so that these fantastic and nonsensical verses (some so old their meaning is long forgotten) are among the first magical words to sound in a child's ear. This collection of over two hundred rhymes was assembled in 1903 with the family in mind ('Tradition in the nursery has acted as a severe editor'). and each page is illustrated each verse decorated, with the imcomparable drawing of Charles Robinson.
