Lilliput Lyrics

by William Brighty Rands

William Brighty Rands earned his living reporting the debates of the House of Commons, and wrote verse for children under several names. His best-known poem begins “Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful World”, and he has been called the Laureate of the Nursery. These Lilliput Lyrics were gathered from his books by Brimley Johnson, long after his death.
