Here we have an excellent condition hardback copy of Heavy Words Lightly Thrown: The Reason Behind the Rhyme, by Chris Roberts.

From the back cover:

Was little Jack Horner a squatter? ‘Baa, baa, Black Sheep’ a bleat about taxation? What did Jack and Jill do on that hill? Who was Mary? And why was she contrary?

This witty and ingenious book delves into the hidden meanings of the most innocuous-sounding nursery rhymes, revealing a seething subtext of sexual innuendo, religious hatred and political subversion.

Heavy Words Lightly Thrown provides a fascinating history lesson, teases out some alarming Freudian interpretations, and makes entertaining connections to contemporary political and popular culture. Striking illustrations, specially commissioned, accompany the rhymes.

You’ll never see Goosie Gander in the same way again.

International bidders please note: I can only accept payment via Paypal.

Thanks for looking.
