About this audiobook
Before he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897. Taking 16 beloved nursery rhymes, he explains their meaning and fascinating history. What is the true story of Little Boy Blue? Why was Mary contrary?
As he says in the introduction, "Many of these nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be I have thought the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines. For that reason I have written this book." L. Frank BaumBefore he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897.
