ORIGINS OF RHYMES, SONGS AND SAYINGS

A companion to Joan Harrowvens'
Traditional rhymes, songs and sayings provide vital links with the past - recalling incidents and social conditions in history, many of which may otherwise have been forgotten. From the lullabies of pre-Christian times via the Roman, Saxon, Norman, Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart, Hanoverian and Victorian periods and coming right up to space travel the author features what can be described as 'the poetry of the ages.'
