Ride a Cock Horse and Other Nursery Rhymes by Mervyn Peake
This elegantly produced collection of classic nursery rhymes is accompanied by richly imaginative drawings by Mervyn Peake. First published in 1940, and now reissued for the first time, this is a charming children's gift book that will also be sought after by enthusiasts for the work of the inimitable Peake. It includes family favorites Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Old King Cole, I Had a Little Nut Tree, Doctor Foster went to Glo'ster, Sing a Song of Sixpence, Little Jack Horner, and Jack Sprat.
Peake, Mervyn: - Mervyn Peake (1911-1968) was a playwright, painter, poet, illustrator, short story writer, and designer of theatrical costumes, as well as a novelist.
