The Jackie Morris Book of Classic Nursery Rhymes
Age 4+
Poetry
From the acclaimed illustrator of The Lost Words, a personal selection of over 40 traditional nursery rhymes, superbly illustrated in watercolour
A wonderfully illustrated and sumptuous collection of nursery rhymes for all ages, including many favourite rhymes as well as some that will be a delightful discovery. Originally published as The Cat and the Fiddle in 2011, this edition includes a new introduction by Jackie Morris - a spirited defence of the nursery rhyme, which she fears is in danger of being forgotten in a digital world.
The beautiful and detailed watercolour paintings combine with over 40 rhymes to make this a unique treasury and lifetime possession for children and adults of all ages.
