<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Original edition first published by Williams and Northgate Ltd., London, 1947, as I saw Esau: traditional rhymes of youth"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The mood is insouciant glee. A treasure. -- <i>Kirkus Review</i>s (starred review)<br><i><br></i></b><i>Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.</i> <p/>That's what children chant when they are being teased; it's what their parents chanted, and their grandparents and their great-grandparents before them. Collected in this invaluable book are the wit and wisdom of generations of schoolchildren -- more than one hundred and seventy rhymes ranging from insults and riddles to tongue twisters, jeers, and jump-rope rhymes. With Iona Opie's introduction and detailed notes and Maurice Sendak's remarkable pictures -- vignettes, sequences, and full-page paintings both wickedly funny and comically sad -- here is a book that deserves a place among the classic texts of childhood.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Iona and Peter Opie</b> were married in 1943 and worked together for nearly forty years, studying and writing about children's lore and literature until Peter's death in 1982. Among their collaborations is <i>The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes</i>. Iona Opie lives in England. <p/><b>Maurice Sendak</b> has created texts and illustrations for more than seventy books, which have sold millions of copies around the world. He has won numerous awards, including a Caldecott Medal for <i>Where the Wild Things Are</i>, and the Hans Christian Andersen Award for his body of work. He lives in New England.
