The Reading Ace 🖤🤍💜
A very UK-centric collection of nursery rhymes, and not an incredibly thorough one. It's also not really a history history - there aren't really any detailed explanations or theories on the hows or whys of these rhymes. It's more of a commonplace book collecting the known and popular rhymes of the time.
The author goes out of his way to list a handful of rhymes from (British-colonized) India, and his descriptions of the people and the culture are just down-right offensive and patronizing. 😬
There honestly isn't much of anything in here that would make me recommend this book to anyone. Learn from my mistakes!
