"National Rhymes of the Nursery" by Various is an anthology of classic children's rhymes, likely put together in the late 1800s, that brings to mind the simple joy of childhood. Presenting a variety of verses, from lighthearted, fun chants to educational stories rooted in old customs, the book aims to capture both young hearts and those looking back on simpler times. The book starts with an introduction from George Saintsbury, who reflects on how nursery rhymes are charming because they mix sounds and meanings in an artistic way. Touching on where these rhymes came from and how much they are worth as art, Saintsbury talks about how they have changed over time from real stories to the often silly rhymes we know now; he emphasizes how rhythm and sound keep children's poems interesting, preparing readers for the imaginative and playful rhymes ahead.
