Heavy words lightly thrown : the reason behind the rhyme / Chris Roberts. by Roberts, Chris (Chris John) Gotham Books, c2005. Call #: 398.8 R643h Subjects Nursery rhymes, English -- History and criticism.   Nursery rhymes -- History and criticism. ISBN:  1592401309 Description:  xx, 202 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. Summary:  "Nursery rhymes are rarely as innocent as they seem--there is a wealth of concealed meaning in our familiar childhood verse. More than a century after Queen Victoria decided that children were better off without the full story, London librarian Roberts brings the truth to light. He traces the origins of the subtle phrases and antiquated references, revealing religious hatred, political subversion, and sexual innuendo."--From publisher.
