Who is Humpty Dumpty? And Robin the Bobbin is an unknown character as well. Why did one fall off a wall, and why does the other eat so much? English folk poetry is populated by funny characters who often surprise the Russian reader with their illogical behavior. Yet, how much charm these verses have, how much wisdom, humor, and bright, memorable rhymes! And we know and love these verses thanks to the brilliant translations by S. Ya. Marshak. This book includes famous English nursery rhymes ("The House That Jack Built," "Humpty Dumpty," "Blow, Blow, Winds!" and others), as well as English poetry (by A. A. Milne, Edward Lear, Rudyard Kipling) translated by S. Marshak.
