There is this book I’m searching for. It’s the first book I remember owning, and 7 years or so ago my mom got rid of it. It was a very thick hard-cover book. A nursery rhyme book, with a yellow cover, and these beautiful, Victorian drawings of children.
Inside were these fabulous rhymes:
Tell tell tit
Your tongue shall be split
And all the doggies of the town
Shall have a little bit.
There was an old woman
Who lived under the hill
And if she’s not dead
She’s living there still.
So many others. I really want this book. And going through the art of the Victorian era, I came across artwork that looked like what I want. That’s all, silly little search for a book I had in the late 70s, early 80s.
