A wonderfully illustrated and sumptuous collection of nursery rhymes for all ages, including many favourite rhymes as well as some that will be a delightful discovery. Originally published as The Cat and the Fiddle in 2011, this edition includes a new introduction by Jackie Morris - a spirited defence of the nursery rhyme, which she fears is in danger of being forgotten in a digital world.
The beautiful and detailed watercolour paintings combine with over 40 rhymes to make this a unique treasury and lifetime possession for children and adults of all ages.
Jackie Morris's fame has risen to new heights with the the immense success of The Lost Words, for which she won the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal in 2019. An author as well as an artist, she still owns a well-thumbed and well-loved collection of nursery rhymes from her own childhood, and is a strong believer in their value for extending children's sense of wonder and pleasure in words.
Mrs Noah’s Pockets (with James Mayhew) was longlisted for the Kate Greenaway Award and a White Ravens choice for Best International Picture Book
Jackie’s other bestselling books for Otter-Barry Books include Can You See a Little Bear? (with James Mayhew), The Seal Children, One Cheetah, One Cherry, Lost and Found and Walking on Water.
Jackie Morris lives in Pembrokeshire. She has a wide following on social media: see www.jackiemorris.co.uk
