Title: Difficult to read
Product review: This book is a collection of LOTS of nursery rhymes, riddles, and charms, some familiar and many now obscure. There is an introduction tying certain rhymes to events in English history, but it assumes the reader is already very familiar with English history and isn't the best introduction to the topic for the modern American reader.Overall, it was difficult to read because of the formatting. There were a lot of random numbers (maybe placeholders where pictures were in the original), but they mixed in with the occasional footnote, creating a confusing reading experience.If you are interested in old nursery rhymes, this would be a neat reference to have on-hand, but it doesn't make for a good cover-to-cover reading experience.
