When we raised our children to bed at night and tell their tales and nursery rhymes, we want a peaceful sleep and pleasant nod. But how can their dreams are more comfortable when the head is not lack of sleep are full of visions of plum, but with fear, violence and death?
Their small heads are designed to be filled with the same images as we were: the blind mice but can not run beyond the amputated tail with a knife, a boy who kissesGirls and makes them cry, living in an old shoe, whip her children hungry for any reason, babies in arms and rock in a wheelchair if break; Solomon Grundy, born on Monday, has died at the end of the week Tom Piper's son steal, fever, fear spiders scary little girl in tuffet, Humpty Dumpty falls off a wall and can never be fixed, weasels and monkeys to catch and pop them. How did you start this carnage?
Some of these stories are very longTime and date in the rule of 16, 17 and 18 century one of the most enduring forms of oral culture of England. Apparently most of the rhymes were originally composed for adult entertainment, as originating in popular ballads and songs.
The first known published collection of nursery rhymes was Tommy Thumb's (Pretty) Song Book (London, 1744). This "small belonged Tom Tucker," "Sing a Song of Sixpence" and "Who Killed Cock Robin?" The most influential was"Mother Goose's Melody: Sonnets for the Cradle," published by John Newberry in 1781. Among its 51 rhymes, "Jack and Jill," "Ding Dong Bell" and "Hush-a-Bye Baby on the tree was finished."
Hush-a-Bye Baby, on top of the tree
When the wind blows, the cradle swing.
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
It will come baby, cradle and all.
Vikki Harris' "The origin of Mother Goose rhymes &" (1997), regardless of their evil words,Nursery rhymes that were popular years ago, and still are, can be classified into three categories. First, the lullabies, songs and melodies, with which many of us are familiar. These were far from reassuring, but should have sung to intimidate the child and / or as an outlet for the emotions of parents and health professionals:
Bye Baby Bunting
Daddy went hunting,
Gone go skin a rabbit
At the end of the Baby BuntingOthers
-1784
Bye, baby bumpkin
Where's Tony Lumpkin
My lady on her deathbed,
Eating half a pumpkin.
-1842
A second reason for the development of rhymes for children had a fun childhood. Rhymes and alphabet rhymes to fit this category and are not usually violent.
One, two, three, four, five,
I once caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let him go again.
-1888
Here A, B, C, D, E,F and G,
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V,
W, X, Y and Z
And Oh, poor me,
When we learn
My A, B, C?
1869
Tickle Games were well used for the entertainment of children and of children. Perhaps the two best known are:
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man
Bake me a cake as fast as possible;
Pat and sting, and mark it with B
And put in the oven for baby and me
-1698
This little pig went toMarket
The piggy stayed home
The pig had roast beef,
This little pig had none,
This piggy cried
Wee, wee, wee
All the way home.
-1728
"It 's also possible that the amount of storage should be in the nursery to go myself," said Henry in bed "rhymes and stories - their origin and history (1968)" We received our nursery rhymes and fairy tales are from' antiquity to the amazing persistencefolk tradition, often reinforced by the conservatism characteristic of childhood that insists on using rhymes in the same way every time.

If you carefully read Hansel and Gretel, can never repeat to your children:
With a large forest there lived a poor woodcutter with his wife
and his two sons. The boy was called Hansel and the '
Girl Gretel. He had little to bite and to break, and once, when
great famine came to earth, he could not procure even daily bread. Well, if you have these thoughts in the night in hisBed and rolled in his anxiety, he groaned and said to his wife what happened to us. How can our poor children when we did not eat anything for us, I'll tell you what, man, "replied the woman, tomorrow morning we
children in the forest where she is'
thicker.
There will be a focus for them, and give each
them a piece of bread, and then continue our work and go
leave them alone.You will not find the way home again, and we
are going on. No, woman, "said the man, I do not want this.
How can I bear to leave my children alone in the forest. The wild animals would soon tear. O fool, 'she said, then we will all four hunger, you can also plane the planks for our coffins, and had no peace until he consented. But I am very sorry for poor children, all alike, "said the man
The two children were alsowas unable to sleep for hunger, and
had heard what their stepmother had said his father. Gretel
wept bitter tears and said Hansel, now all is over with us.

In The Truth Behind Goldilocks "Mental Floss - Volume 2, writes Richard Zachs, we read that the diluted versions of fairy tales and that the originals were much more graphic and brutal.
In the first version (1831) of Goldilocks discovered in Toronto, the author, aEleanor Mure, an aunt of 32 years, unmarried, has created "The Story of the three bears" for his nephew, Horace broken.
The original 'Goldilocks' a' mad old woman had, "which breaks into the bears' house 'because he snubbed her during a recent social call. Once the three bears catch the old woman, trying to figure out what to do with it. Here's what came with:
The fire they throw, but could not burn them;
They put in the water, but we are drowningno;
They use mainly the people astonished,
And Chuck on the church steeple of St. Paul;
And if she is still there if you look seriously
You can see very clearly - my dear Horbook!
No other version of Goldilocks is impaled on a church steeple. The old lady did not grayhaired a young girl, blond hair turned to 1918.
The stories that we are so happy to remember from our childhood are passed on to our children and produce yet anotherGenerating Lore nursery.
