About the book
A wonderful collection of antiquated French poems, with detailed notes and references in English... or so it would seem. Reading the poems aloud reveals them to be of a very different nature, which anyone who had an English childhood will revel in, as the poems are actually homophonic renderings of forty well-known nursery rhymes. For best effect, find an actual French person to read them to you!
