Nursery Rhymes: The True Stories (No, Honest!)

About this ebook
These are humourous, ficticious stories exploring the origins and explanations of some well known nursery rhymes. For example, you'll discover why Humpty Dumpty really sat on the wall, how "Goosey Goosey" Gander got his name and why Miss Muffet really ran away. But they are not what you'd expect. They are heavily laced with my humour. Read at your peril. Contains a little adult humour and language so not quite aimed at children! On a serious note, I will be donating to Comic Relief from the proceeds, so buy now!!! And above all, please recommend to all you friends!
