Thanks David
Dedicated sounded a little "too much" for only a rhyme, but if you say it it's OK PD thanks Rusty. Do you both live in the forum??? |

I love that! I'm a big fan of nursery rhymes. Like fairytales, they're often very revealing about a given culture.

Me too. I love English nursery rhymes and I've taught many of the traditional ones to my children. As for fairy tales, I positively adore them, though I have to admit sometimes they are quite cruel. By the way, have you read Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and other stories (her own version of some of the most popular fairy tales of all times) And Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes? ( in which Little Red Riding Hood takes a pistol from her knickers and kills the wolf. Talk about poetic justice....)They are both worth the trouble.

You're the fifth or sixth person to recommend Roald Dahl to me. If I remember, I'll ask for that for my birthday. I haven't heard of Carter's book. Though it's been a few months since I worked on it (Spanish and Chinese have been my thing since around January) I was working my way through Grimm Brothers in German for a while. It's a little rough though. My German isn't great and it's written in an older form. But it's fascinating.
