3.0 out of 5 stars Humourous and unrepentant, March 24, 2002
This review is from: Who Really Killed Cock Robin?: Nursery Rhymes and Carols Restored (Hardcover)
Basically Norman Iles takes the Rhyme and carol and asks what the original was really like. He takes the view that most of them have very ancient roots and have been cleaned up by sucessive generations of uninterested people.
He introduces the Rhyme or Carol by printing it and it's variations and then disects it and represents it as his conjecture of the original. Often he reintroduces rhyme into the piece.
It recreates some of the possible original pagan songs which had christianity superimposed on them.
I borrowed it from the library but would very much enjoy a copy of my own
