Lost
Lyrics, History and Origins of Old Nursery
Rhymes |
|
|
|
The words and lyrics of
Nursery Rhymes are
important to our history
and culture. We have
therefore included in
this section the 'Lost
Lyrics of Old Nursery
Rhymes'- the words and
lyrics to the lesser
known and old nursery
rhymes that are in
danger of being lost
forever. Fashions come
and go, child care
methods change but we
still repeat the
favourite and famous old
nursery rhymes to our
children. Reciting old
Nursery Rhymes to
children is the most
pleasurable first step
to providing our
children's education.
But this particular
section will be of
interest to the adults!
We were really surprised
at the number of old
nursery rhymes that we
had never heard of
before! Our interest
grew and grew! |

We managed to purchase
some really old books containing
nursery rhymes and realised that
they all should be available
online - hence this section and
why we called it 'Lost Lyrics of
Old Nursery Rhymes' - a free,
online resource containing the
words and lyrics to as many old
nursery rhymes as we could
locate - and their history and
origins. |
