Both volumes in the series are 24mo, (6)ff. In handset type on handmade paper, Roberts has reinterpreted traditional nursery rhymes for the foibles and fascinations of the end of the 20th century. In the '80s, this means Mary, Mary quite contrary's annoyance at politics, and that singing a song of sixpence is subject to inflation. In the '90s, Jack and Jill fall ill from poorly treated tap water, and Georgie Porgie develops a fear of women. Both bound in printed. Fine.
