The book delves into the origins, development, and cultural contexts of nursery rhymes, examining their evolution from oral traditions to print. Eckenstein aims to connect various instances of nursery lore and highlight their place within the broader scope of folk literature. At the start of the text, the author reflects on the fascinating parallels between ancient Egyptian culture and nursery rhymes, specifically citing the burial of Cock Robin as a case study. Eckenstein introduces the topic by referencing historical collections, such as "Mother Goose's Melody," and discusses the chronological emergence of nursery rhymes in print. She outlines her intention to explore the connections between these playful verses and their deeper cultural roots, setting the stage for a comparative analysis that bridges ancient and contemporary folklore.
