Summary

"The Nurserymatograph" by G. A. T. Allan is a funny story that makes fun of things, probably from the early 1900s. It's all about mixing kids' rhymes with the new movie business, showing how these old stories could be movies. The author uses humor to look at what society thought was normal and how movies were made back then. The book changes well-known nursery rhymes into short, funny stories that include legal talk, movie stuff, and weirdness. Characters from the rhymes end up in modern places like courtrooms and movie theaters, making a playful but important statement about childhood stories and grown-up things like school, right and wrong, and how people act. The book makes you think about the real meanings of old stories while making you laugh.
