Hello,

I've spent many years (over 25) looking for a book. Unfortunately I did not know the title or author, only some of the rhymes within the book. Having been so used to Google not being able to help/point me in the right direction, I have been pleasantly surprised that this thread has answered my prayers!

Jim Dixon posted the following (thank you Jim!):

From St. Nicholas, Volume 10 (New York: The Century Co., 1882), page 112:

AN ALPHABET OF CHILDREN (A is for Apt little Annie etc)
By Isabel Frances Bellows

I have been trying to find out a little more but cannot source the book, I'm presuming the title could be slightly different, can anyone help?!

Thanks very much
