I love the idea of writing about the true stories behind the Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Must read this!
I think Jill pushed Jack!
Good one!! I have heard they originally started out pretty gruesome and we beautified them for the children. These sound like some great reads.
Both of these look awesome. You know how much I love collections!
Happy reading.
