Little Songs of Long Ago: More Old Nursery Rhymes

Little Songs of Long Ago brings together a charming selection of traditional nursery rhymes, each set to a simple, sing‑along melody harmonized by Alfred Moffat. The volume is richly illustrated with thirty delicate drawings that capture the playful spirit of the verses. Listeners can enjoy each piece in three ways: a recorded performance, a printable PDF of the sheet music, or the underlying MusicXML code for curious musicians. The layout preserves the original spellings and numbering, giving a taste of the period’s printing style.

The collection ranges from familiar favorites like “Old King Cole” and “London Bridge” to lesser‑known gems such as “Little Polly Flinders” and “The North Wind Does Blow,” all rendered with a warm, child‑friendly tone. The accompanying illustrations invite you to picture scenes of bustling kitchens, dancing babies, and countryside lambs, making the listening experience feel like a storybook come to life. Whether you’re revisiting childhood memories or sharing these melodies with a new generation, the book offers an accessible, musical journey through timeless verses.
