A bit U. K. - centric, so I wasn't familiar with some of the rhymes, otherwise a fun, quick read.

I couldn't get through this one. I tried, but gave up half way through. It is for people who enjoy reading about history and are at least somewhat knowledgeable about it: very old history, with kings and queens and the like. Perhaps had the book been organized a bit differently I would have enjoyed it more. The sections are alphabetical, ordered by the rhyme they describe. It would have made more sense to me if it were organized chronologically.
