James W. Elliott: Nursery Rhymes And Nursery Songs

First published in 1870, Elliott's melodies have become the staple tunes for years of nursery singing, and this volume has long been considered one of the most beloved children's songbooks. The melodies perfectly capture the charm of the texts, and in many cases have become inseparable from the rhymes themselves. Further to the rhymes themselves, this edition is lavishly illustrated with beautiful engravings by the renowned Dalziel brothers, whose artwork illustrated numerous children's books of the victorian period. A simple piano accompaniment is provided for each song.
