Complete and unabridged, with 27 full-page plates by John Everett Millais, Marianne North and Alfred Sisley. Every singing game and street game of the three kingdoms, with the words, the tunes and the local variants - hundreds of them, taken down from children before the towns swallowed the playgrounds. Both volumes are here; it remains the fullest record of a vanished childhood. This edition adds a gallery of 27 plates bound with the text, with paintings by Edvard Munch, Conrad Martens and Marianne North, and 33 illustrations restored and coloured.
