The Nursery Rhyme Book

Yesterday I pinched my finger in my desk drawer and it jolly well hurt! This tweaked a memory.
In 1955, when my son was two, we bought a book called "The Oxford Nursery Rhyme Book" by Iona and Peter Opie, a couple who were folklorists and spent years collecting children's games, rhymes and riddles and put them into this book. I am looking at it now and all the children I have shown it to love it, including my two smallest grandchildren. Some of the games for small children are familiar ones you play on your hands.
We taught our small son the names of his fingers. Tom Thumbkin, Willie Wilkin, Long Daniel, Betty Bodkin and Little Dick. He came in from the garden one day crying loudly. "What's wrong?" I asked. " I've hurt my finger". he wailed. I took him on my lap. "Show me" I said "and I will kiss it better. Which one is it?" He held up his hand. "Little Dick" he sobbed.
