Ian Turner, one of Australia's most distinguished historians and cultural commentators, presents a meticulously researched collection of the rhymes, songs, and games that echoed across schoolyards from one end of the continent to the other, capturing a uniquely Australian childhood voice that was at once mischievous, rhythmic, and defiantly homegrown.\n\nBeyond its role as a nostalgic treasury, this work stands as a serious piece of Australian cultural scholarship, arguing powerfully that children's folk culture is a living record of social history, humour, and collective memory. Turner's approach is both affectionate and analytical, illuminating the ways in which these seemingly simple verses reveal deeper truths about Australian society, its larrikin spirit, and its relationship with the British tradition it simultaneously inherited and subverted. For anyone who ever skipped rope to a chanted rhyme or clapped hands in a circle, this collection will reawaken something half-remembered — and for those who didn't, it opens a window into a world that is as fascinating as it is fleeting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160895987931,"sku":"2026200014109-SECONDHAND","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9e18f959-6e3b-4fed-8c5c-a7ee7cd3239a.png?v=1787188191","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014109-secondhand-cinderella-dressed-in-yella","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
