A short preview of the book’s content is shown below to give you an idea of its style and themes.
This book is exactly what the title says: a collection of old and new nursery rhymes and children's verses, compiled by someone named Paul Koch. The pages are filled with the short, rhythmic poems meant to be chanted or sung to kids. You'll find the classics you might half-remember from childhood alongside less familiar ones. That's the straightforward part.
The Story
There isn't a plot in the traditional sense. The 'story' is the journey through these rhymes themselves—from playful nonsense verses to gentle lullabies. It's a tour of the sounds and silly words that have been passed down to help children play, learn language, and drift off to sleep. The real curiosity is the cover, which quietly states the author is 'Unknown,' even though Paul Koch's name is right there as the compiler. It makes you look at every page a little differently.
Why You Should Read It
This book is a direct line to pure, simple joy. Reading these rhymes out loud is an instant mood-lifter. But the 'Unknown' author tag adds a fascinating layer. It turns the book from a simple collection into a conversation piece. You start thinking about all the unnamed people who invented and passed these rhymes along for generations. It celebrates the folk tradition—the idea that some of the best things are made by everyone and no one at the same time.
Final Verdict
Perfect for parents, nostalgic readers, or anyone interested in folklore and language. It's a wonderful book to share with a child, but it's also a thoughtful little artifact for adults who appreciate a mystery wrapped in simplicity. If you like the idea of discovering history in a nursery rhyme, this one's for you.
This book is widely considered to be in the public domain. Preserving history for future generations.
