The Traditional Games of England, Scotland, and Ireland
"... In this extraordinary Victorian compilation, more than 800 children's games are described, with their rules, their local variants, and the tunes and songs that go with them. In an alphabetically organized encyclopaedic guide ... we find not only all the familiar favourites of childhood, from Blind Man's Bluff to Hide and Seek, and from Cat's Cradle to Noughts and Crosses, but also a host of others: Hockerty Crockerty, Wiggle-Waggle and Tee-to-tum ... Each is also classified both by county and by type and the author provides an illuminating essay on the whole subject: "We have in these children's games", "she writes, "some of the oldest historical documents belonging to our race, worthy of being place side by side with the folk-tale and other monuments of man's progress ...".-- Back cover.

Children's Folklore
A groundbreaking collection of essays on a hitherto underexplored subject that challenges the existing stereotypical views of the trivial and innocent nature of children's culture, this work reveals for the first time the artistic and complex interactions among children. Based on research of scholars from such diverse fields as American studies, anthropology, education, folklore, psychology, and sociology, this volume represents a radical new attempt to redefine and reinterpret the expressive behaviors of children. The book is divided into four major sections: history, methodology, genres, and setting, with a concluding chapter on theory. Each section is introduced by an overview by Brian Sutton-Smith. The accompanying bibliography lists historical references through the present, representing works by scholars for over 100 years.

Children's Singing Games
PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for...
