Lavender's Blue

by Kathleen Lines

When first published in 1954, Kathleen Lines' careful selection of traditional nursery rhymes and games quickly became a fixture in many a nursery. Almost four generations have delighted in reciting the familiar verses and gazing at the timeless, gentle illustrations by Harold Jones. An index of first lines makes it easy to find your favorites, such as Old King Cole, The Three Little Kittens, Pat-a-Cake, and many more. This classic collection is an eternal favorite.
