Project Gutenberg 2009-11-08 Public domain in the USA. 494 Wright, M. E. S. Rhymes Old and New : collected by M.E.S. Wright Produced by Julie Barkley, Anne Storer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Rhymes Old and New: Collected by M.E.S. Wright" is a collection of nursery rhymes and songs compiled in the early 20th century. This anthology features a delightful assortment of rhymes that draw from both traditional sources and local variations, intending to entertain and educate children. With no main characters to follow, the book instead invites young readers to engage with the playful nature of rhymes that reference seasons, animals, and everyday experiences. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to the curator's intentions, emphasizing the goal of compiling rhymes that are not often found in other children's literature. Wright acknowledges her sources, including local folklore and traditional nursery rhymes, while also expressing a desire for the collection to be enjoyed by children, as well as adults who appreciate the nostalgia of these verses. The initial segments include couplets that comment on the weather and seasons, setting a lighthearted tone that is reinforced by the rhythmic and engaging nature of the included poems.
