520			_a"A History of Nursery Rhymes" by Percy B. Green is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the origins and evolution of nursery rhymes, tracing their roots from prehistoric times through various cultures and social contexts. It aims to uncover the significance of these rhymes within child development and folklore, reflecting on both archaic and modern traditions. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the prehistoric origins of language and communication, emphasizing the use of signs and sounds among early man. Green cites examples of primitive customs from various cultures, such as sign-language among the Uvinza people and the clapping of hands as a greeting. He draws parallels between ancient practices and modern nursery games and rhymes, suggesting that these playful traditions retain echoes of our distant past. By connecting ancient and contemporary society, the author sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of how nursery rhymes have survived and evolved through time.
