Who were Mary Quite Contrary and Georgie Porgie? How could Hey Diddle Diddle offer an essential astronomy lesson? And if Ring a Ring a Roses isn't about catching the plague, then what is it really about? This title explores the strange histories behind the nursery rhymes we thought we knew, showing that their real meanings are far from innocent.
