A collection of nursery rhymes from around the world.

The book is illustrated with black and white drawings by Valery Carrick, a Russian artist and journalist who settled in Norway after the Russian Revolution.
Condition
The contents are in good, clean condition but with the pencil annotations as mentioned above. The boards have comprehensive water-staining and fading to front and back but this remains in perfectly good readable condition.
Our postage is charged at cost and is measured by the weight of the book. The recent USPS price hikes have meant our rates to the US have had to increase.
