Description:
Nursery rhymes and carols are part of folk art, and a vital link to a past era. Sometimes charming and often nonsensical, many of the them were too outspoken and were thus censored into childishness. For example, traditional carols which betrayed their pagan origins were converted into useful vehicles for the medieval Christian church. Iles examines the mysteries of such rhymes and throws a fascinating light on our social, sexual and religious history.
A really nice copy. All pages intact, bright and unmarked with no markings, fading or foxing, possibly unread. Some darkening on FEP perhaps due to old tape or similar. DJ is in a very good state. Unclipped, some sun fading on spine. Cloth boards intact and spine tight. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 256 pp with numerous illustrations

Description:
A lovely copy of the first edition of Lucille Iremonger's classic critique of the 1901 Versailles 'time slip' adventure. This is the true first edition, first printing. Pages are excellent: no markings or inscriptions, just some normal minor age wear mostly on top edges. One fox spot on fore edge but no tanning or browning elsewhere. Very unusual in this condition. DJ is v very nice: unclipped, some shelf wear and minor nickings and the odd small enclosed tear. Some age wear. But generally very good indeed. A great collector's item. Many illustrations. See photos all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos
