Opie, Iona and Peter Opie, ed.
The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes
Oxford, England, Oxford, at the Clarendon Press, 1951. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: Large 8vo 9" - 10. For the first time Nursery Rhymes have been arranged alphabetically to facilitate easy reference. Most of the rhymes, we believe, will be readily located; while reference to the index at the end which lists the first lines of both the standard text and all the variations quoted, should lead the way to any pieces proving elusive." Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound in hardcover format, generally clean, lightly toned at worst, minimal rubbing to extremities. Blue cloth over boards, sharp and distinct gilt lettering to spine. Bumping to spine head and foot. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xxvii [2], 2-467 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Very Good
