This was a must-read for me as soon as I heard about it. I consider myself fortunate in that I grew up immersed in the world of Nursery Rhymes and went on to teach primary children for many years. As the years went by, I realized that fewer and fewer children were starting school with a knowledge of Nursery Rhymes and it was such a shame! It seemed like a dying art. The stories they tell, the rhyme and syllable patterns, as well as the messages concealed within the layers is becoming a missed opportunity.
What Stephanie Ellis has done here is very clever, because she's taken those wonderful rhymes and added dark elements making them suitable for adults. Some I giggled at because they were so wicked. Others I had to read more than once in order to savor the language.
Very clever, and a wonderful cover to boot!
