Despite many peoples&#039; attempts to assign historical significance to them, there is rarely much evidence to support the contentions, although there are exceptions which most scholars accept, such as &#039;&#039;Ring a ring a roses&#039;&#039; being derived from the Black Death of the 14th century. The way in which childrens&#039; songs pass through the community, and the variations you find in different parts of the country, make a fascinating topic for study, and in this country the leaders in the field are Iona and Peter Opie, two of whose many books on the subject are:<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren&#039;&#039;, I &amp; P Opie, 1959 and 2001, NYRB<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes&#039;&#039;, I &amp; P Opie, 1992, OUP<br /> <br /> Traditional collections of Nursery Rhymes include:<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;Nursery Rhymes and Country Songs, M H Mason, 1909, Metzler &amp; Co.<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales of England, James Orchard Haliwell, 1849, reprinted 1970, The Bodley Head</div>
