"Shared memories bind families and friends together. Not least important among these are
memories of stories, songs, and poems, repeated often and incorporated into everyday thought
and expression. The child who grows up unaware of literature of the past is surely impoverished...
We learned many of the poems assembled here from our mothers, and have often read or
recited most of these to our children....Some decades have now passed since the collection was
first assembled, so that our own grandchildren have become the readers, rather than the read-to.
Yet...these 'out of date' poems may be even more important to the children of the 21st century than to those for whom they were originally
compiled...."
