Bronner, Simon J.. - American Children's Folklore. A book of rhymes, games, jokes, stories, secret languages, beliefs and camp legends. For parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors and all adults who were once children.

Little Rock August House 1988 Softcover, 281pp., 15x22,5cm., illustr. in b/w., in good condition (covers with some traces of use, spine with remains of a sticker, inside in very good condition). ISBN 9780874830682. Concentrating on lore gathered since World War II, Bronner has assembled an anthology of what children really say, not what adults wish they would say. It is through such shared lore-songs, expressions, games, and beliefs-that children adapt to new situations. Bronner includes secret languages, jump rope rhymes, song parodies, games, taunts, tongue twisters, jokes, and more. These treasures make for nostalgic reading for adults who want to relive their own childhoods or gain a window to their own children's world.
