RE: Dark, Disturbing and Somewhat Horrible, the History and Origins of Nursery Rhymes #2: 🇬🇧 London Bridge is Falling Down 🇬🇧
Reading this brought it all back to me I remember learning this when I was a teenager and then having to research so many other Nursery Rhymes its kind of freaky how many of them have sinister interpretations
It really is, so many of them are dark to say the least! But it's worth noting that maybe they weren't intentionally meant for children per se, but rather that they were a way of telling a story from one generation to the next when not many people in Europe were literate.
Yes its funny how over time they transitioned from Folk Lore to children’s stories
