James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps, Esq.
(1820-1889)

Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales

Editor's Note: I have provided separate pages for each of Halliwell's Nursery Stories since they are of the most interest for SurLaLune readers. However, to publish the entire book since it is not easily obtained or navigated on the internet, I have provided all of the other sections in their entirety on single pages devoted to the individual section.
