NURSERY RHYMES WITH PICTURES BY CLAUD LOVAT FRASER (PB)

Bestselling historian Robert Lacey brings together 82 beloved nursery rhymes in this beautiful gift book. The illustrations, vividly updated by artist Ben Coppin, are based on original drawings by Claud Lovat Fraser (1890-1921), who created them for his newly born daughter Helen. Alongside the rhymes are Robert’s reflections on the magic of nursery rhymes, the meaning of their not-so-childish nonsense and the history behind them. Features a jacket with flaps and colourful sprayed edges. A share of profits will go to the Royal Academy and the Dartmoor-based charity Storybook Dads and Storybook Mums.
