Front flap:
"You will find gems from masters such as William Blake, Rudyard Kipling, and Robert Luis Stevenson, as well as contemporary favorites by Margaret Wise Brown, Nikki Giovanni, and Jack Prelutsky. Also included are dozens of traditional works drawn from English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Spanish, Yiddish, and German sources and from the American South.
"With easily played melodies for piano or guitar and over fifty tender, glowing full-color illustrations..."
One of my favorite lullabies is All Through The Night.
"Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee,
All through the night;
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night;
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night."
