AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This book is a collection of Australian Children's play rhymes ... Play rhymes are the rhymes which children use for their games - for skipping, hand-clapping, ball-bouncing, chasing games, for deciding who is to be 'he'; or to establish their supremacy, to defend themselves, to express their affection or anger, or simply to amuse themselves and one another... There are many new rhymes, and many new versions of old rhymes. The rhyme-making of children is alive and kicking.' (Source: Taken from Introduction to the collection)
