'Truth Behind Nursery Rhymes' - apparently just out, what's the proper title?!

[Tinkjon]

A friend told me about this book and said that she thought this was the title but I can't find it anywhere. It's a book about the true stories behind nursery rhymes. It's only very recently been published - does anybody have any idea what it could be? Thanks!

I think it is called "Pop goes the Weasel"

Can anyone post a link - it sounds fascinating. I've always wondered what the story was behind Humpty Dumpty.

this is an article from the Telegraph from earlier this month.

"Even if they do have a historical origin, the nursery rhymes that have survived to delight babbling infants are primarily aural snapshots of a world where words fit together better, and everyone has more fun."

I'm going to learn to say that by heart so I can impress my friends....

That must be the one - brilliant, thanks so much!
