Nursery rhymes are sung so happily but the story behind some of them is frightening for sure, interesting.

Things seemed to have simmered down a bit. Whether that continues remains to be seen.

I hope she gets some time to herself! I think Jacob is a little over zealous, but I expect that from first time parents! I do like his concern for her to very well educated though! this is such a fine story! Have fun with your grandson! These times are so precious! Shelly

Brings back lots of memories. I have always sung just about everything to my kids and to my grandkids and to just about everyone else's kids and grandkids. I always loved nursery rhymes, fair tales, children's stories made into films with sound tracks, musicals, etc., etc. It is so much fun to tell a story to a child and break into song at certain points, such as "
Drip, drip, drop little April showers...
" when telling the story of
Bambi. Children love music and singing.

That was a wonderful post for me, especially because of the history behind the old nursery rhymes and fitted in so nicely to your story. I'm a klutz when it comes to history so you and Kabu both are great teachers...

I am so pleased that you are researching so well and the history facts are
so accurate. Oh my but I worry about these two. Country folk can be so unforgiving if they feel they have been duped.

Re: I agree with Snowview... packed with History. List of authors has no Ladies
Very true; he could have chosen George Elliot as well as Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. Thanks for the tulips.

I enjoyed your reference to the origins of nursery rhymes---have read about a few of them. Your story continues to keep the momentum; am waiting for the next chapter! Enjoy the day with your grandson! God bless. Nita.

Poor Jacob. I can understand his reasons, but I feel he is going to learn that denying one's heritage very seldom ends well.
