Excerpt from Rhymes of Home Might be a rhyme about it to set upon this page. The house is not the Home; it is no more than a shell, and empty enough at times. Friendly chairs, a rug, a table, thumbed books, and some beloved picture - these are not Home, though the warmth and glow of Home, like reflected firelight, may flicker from them all. No, it cannot be defined; but this we do know: it is made up of sorrow as well as joy, and a multi tude of treasured every-days. And it bears some close relationship to children. For if the word Home does not conjure at once to your mind some wee face, some shrill welcoming shout, some clinging little fist, it is almost sure to stir up a scene from your own childhood. The rhymes brought to gether here have but one excuse for their wide variety - a spirit of home bade the writing of them all. And one thing I do know about Home, - it may be found wherever She is, to whom I dedicate this book! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Home Rhymes: From "Breakfast Table Chat" To the author's brother, Mr. Harry R. Guest, much of the credit for this little volume is due, as every line of type used in its prep aration was hand set by him. No other hands but his have shared in the actual making of the book. It was a work of many months, and stands as an instance of industry, patience and devotion to a brother's cause. The selection of verses was made with a view to preserving, as far as possible, thesimpler rhymes of home. The little events of every day life, the laughable, discomforting and sorrowing incidents that occur daily have been the source of the author's inspiration. If but here and there a true note has been sounded, if the song that was written to cheer has really cheered, the author will feel that his labor has not been in vain.

Bring an experience from your childhood back or pass the joy of nursery rhymes on to the next generation with this fantastic illustrated collection. The Big Book of Nursery Rhymes contains a huge array of rhymes and songs, enough to satisfy any reader. It has all the most popular rhymes and is a great resource for anyone who remembers these charming parts of childhood but has less than perfect recall of them. As is natural with an originally oral tradition some of the versions here may be slightly different to the ones you remember from childhood, additionally some are greatly extended from the simple versions we remember to a full length rhyme. Most of us remember Simple Simon met a pie man going to the fair, but few probably know that once Simon made a great snowball and brought it in to roast. This is just one extra verse of many from the full length nursery rhyme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from New Nursery Rhymes on Old LinesThe flare of fire is bright as day; Come with a shriek and come with a cry, Come though in terror, come lest you die; Lose your supper, and lose your sleep, Join the fleeing ones in the street.Feet of children, you ne'er shall go By path of anguish or deeper woe, Wait no instant, away, away! Less cruel to go, than now to stay The Germans are coming, Away! Away!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from House of Play: Verses-Rhymes-Stories for Young Folks Far over the water comes down the night, Fading and fading the silvery light, While storks on their nests stand white and tall, And over the tree-tops the shadows fall.
