Come learn about the dark side of nursery rhymes (definitely not for children). Drop-ins are welcome! Register to receive a reminder.
Almost as soon as we learn to speak, we learn our first nursery rhymes. These simple little verses are easy to learn and have delighted children for centuries. What is not widely known is that many of these rhymes were created about some dark periods in Britain's past. Come along and learn the dark history of nursery rhymes with British historian John Gowing.
Come early for coffee and conversation beginning at 1:30 pm. The program will begin promptly at 2 pm.
