If we put our children to bed at night and tell them fairy tales and nursery rhymes, we want to nap peacefully and pleasant dreams. But how good are their dreams, little sleep when their heads are not filled with visions of sugar plums, but with the fear, violence and death?
Their small heads are designed to work with the same images as we had to be completed: blind mice, but may not work as well as the tail amputated with a knife, a boy who kissesGirls and makes them cry, a woman lives in an old shoe that hungry children whips without cause, the disruption to children in rocking cradles and falling branches, however, Solomon Grundy, born dead at the end of the week, Tom, Monday, Piper's son steal pigs, spiders scare scary girls tuffet, Humpty Dumpty falls off a wall and can never be fixed, weasels and monkeys to catch and pop. How to start this carnage?
Some of these stories have been around for a long timeTime and usually from the 16th, 17th and 18th Century as one of England's most enduring forms of oral culture. Apparently most of the rhymes were originally composed for adult entertainment, as originating in popular ballads and songs.
The earliest known published collection of nursery rhymes was Tommy Thumb's (pretty) Song Book (London, 1744). These included "Little Tom Tucker," "Sing a Song of Tahiti" and "Who Killed Cock Robin?" The most influential was the "motherGoose's Melody: Sonnets for the Cradle Jack and Jill, "" Ding Dong Bell "and". Hush-A-Bye Baby on the tree "by John Newberry in 1781, published with its 51 rhymes were" above. "
Hush-A-Bye Baby, on top of the tree
When the wind blows the price of freedom.
When the Bough breaks the cradle will fall,
It comes down baby, cradle and all.
After Vikki Harris' "The origin of Nursery Rhymes & Mother Goose" (1997), regardless of their bad words, the nurseryRhymes that were popular years ago, and today can be divided into three categories. First, the ', songs, lullabies and melodies, with which many of us are familiar. These were far from reassuring, but should have sung to intimidate the child and / or as an outlet for the emotions of the parents or guardians:
Bye, baby, sleep,
Dad went out hunting
Overcoming a rabbit skin
At the end of the child in Pavia
-1784
Bye, BabyLout
Where's Tony Lumpkin
My woman on her deathbed,
By eating half a pumpkin.
-1842
A second reason for the development of nursery rhymes was performing as a child. Count alphabet and nursery rhymes to fit this category and are not usually violent.
One, two, three, four, five,
I once caught a fish alive;
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
-1888
Here is A, B, C, D, E, F and G,
H, I, J, K, L,M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V,
W, X, Y and Z
EO, dear me,
When we learn
My A, B, C?
1869
Tickle Games were well used for the entertainment of infants and children. Perhaps the two most popular are:
Pat-a-cake pat-a-cake Baker man
Bake me a cake as fast as possible;
Pat Pierce and her and mark it with B,
And put it in the oven for baby and me
-1698
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayedHome
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had nothing
And this little pig cried,
Wee, wee, wee
All at home.
-1728
"It 's also possible that the credit should go to conservation in the same room with their children," said Henry in bed "nursery rhymes and stories - Origin and History (1968)" we owe the preservation of our nursery rhymes and fairy tales of former times, the persistence amazing the folk tradition, reinforced byconservatism characteristic of childhood, which is repeated in the same way with rhymes every time. "

If you read carefully Hansel and Gretel, which can never repeat to your children:
Faced with a large forest there lived a poor woodcutter with his wife
and his two sons. The boy was called Hansel and said
Girl Gretel. He had little to bite and to break, and once
great dearth fell on the floor, was unable to procure even daily bread. Well, if he thought last night in his bed and rolled over in hisFrightened, she sighed and said to his wife, what will become of us. How should we feed our children if we remain nothing more for us. I tell you what, man, "she said, tomorrow morning

How can I bear to leave my children alone in the forest. The wild animals would soon come and tear.

But I feel sorry for poor children, all alike, "said the man

In "The Truth Behind Goldilocks" Mental Floss - Volume 2, writes Richard Zach, we read that the diluted versions of fairy tales and that the originals were much more graphic and brutal.
discovered the oldest known version (1831) of Goldilocks in Toronto, author, Eleanor Mure, a 32-year-oldMaiden aunt who created "The Story of the Three Bears" for her nephew Horace Broke.
The original "Goldilocks" was "an angry old man" who breaks into the door of the house because they snubbed during a recent social call. After the capture of the three bears, the old woman, trying to figure out what to do with it. Here's what came out:
Focus on the launch, but do not burn;
You are sitting in water, but we did not want to drown;
Take, in particular theask people
Chuck and his tower to the cemetery of St. Paul;
And if still there if you look seriously
You'll see it very clearly - Horbook my dear!
No other version has Goldilocks impaled on a church tower. The old lady did not become a young girl grayhaired goldenhaired until 1918.
The stories that we remember so much of our childhood are passed on to our children and produce yet another generation of nursery lore.
