Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. 

Away with the Fairies by Laura Brownhill.

‘Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye, Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king? The king was in his counting house counting out his money, The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes, When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!’

“She went to the cobbler’s, 

To buy him some shoes, 

But when she came back

He was reading the news.”

in this city by the river’s bend the fires have died down 
now only winkie’s ghost is left to run through all the town 
to tap the shattered casements, cry at the unhasped locks 
there’s no asking what the hour is; we’ve unwound all the clocks

the last flames were still flickering in the broken windowpanes 
as I kissed you in an archway whilst the ashes fell like rain 
now the embers glow like lanterns, the ladybirds have flown 
we’ll stroll the cobblestones arm-in-arm and call the palace home

I am not the unicorn, won’t fight you for the crown 
we’ll twine our hands and cross the falling bridge before it drowns 
beneath a sky of lavender blue we’ll lie upon the green 
with all the city lost and gone, we’ll rule together as queens

the church bells of st clement’s now have mute and rusted tongues
the wind still carries echoes of the changes they have rung 
we’ll tread on eggshell fragments of the king and soldiers’ fall
as we collect green apples from the ruins of st paul’s

the gardens have run riot, pretty maids escape their rows
the topiary’s grown astray, the rambling rose is blown 
we’ll picnic in the long grass and breathe the summer air 
I’ll gather a knot of flowering may to weave into your hair

I am not the unicorn, won’t fight you for the crown 
we’ll twine our hands and cross the falling bridge before it drowns 
beneath a sky of lavender blue we’ll lie upon the green 
with all the city lost and gone, we’ll rule together as queens

in the abbey we will pledge our troth, to have and then to hold 
a nutmeg of polished silver for a pear of burnished gold 
you’ll carry a posy of borage, I’ll wear your rope of pearls
we’ll have rings on our fingers and flaunt them before the world

in the tower we’ll play jacks with tarnished knucklebones
the chambers stand in silence, for the ravens have all flown 
we’ll eat bread dipped in honey, I’ll stroke your weary head 
and light a candle on the sill as we put ourselves to bed

I am not the unicorn, won’t fight you for the crown 
we’ll twine our hands and cross the falling bridge before it drowns 
beneath a sky of lavender blue we’ll lie upon the green 
with all the city lost and gone, we’ll rule together as queens

Today is Read Across America Day, an event promoted by the National Educational Association since 19

Today is Read Across America Day, an event promoted by the National Educational Association since 1998 as a way to promote and encourage children’s reading. Which is as good a reason as any to share this illustrated cover from the 1917 Maxwell Book for Kiddies, a small collection of nursery rhymes compiled by Detroit, Michigan’s Maxwell Motor Company.

This booklet is part of Hagley Library’s Z. Taylor Vinson collection of transportation ephemera (Accession 20100108.ZTV). For over sixty years, Zachary Taylor Vinson (1933-2009), a senior lawyer with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1993-1995 president of the Society of Automotive Historians, and 1995-2009 editor of Automotive History Review amassed a large and comprehensive collection of printed material documenting on the history transportation, particularly automobiles.

Our Digital Archive offers a small selection of materials from the Vinson collection documenting the history of the automobile and transportation. Click here to view them online.

My final poster for the illustration workshop I had with the wonderful and knowledgable Charles Sant

My final poster for the illustration workshop I had with the wonderful and knowledgable Charles Santore. We got to choose from a handful of nursery rhymes, so I chose “Ride A Cock-Horse to Banbury Cross” and made the “fine lady” in Welsh goddess Rhiannon’s image.

 Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,Merry merry king of the bush is he.Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Ko

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
That’s not a monkey, that’s me!

Just a quick little doodle of one of my favorite nursery rhymes growing up!
