Nursery Rhymes with Pictures
Nursery Rhymes with Pictures – by best-selling author Robert Lacey and south-east London artist Ben Coppin
Back in the January of 2022, Ben Coppin was commissioned by British historian and author Robert Lacey to bring his idea to life.
This book has been inspired by the beautiful drawings of Claud Lovat Fraser (1890-1921), an artist comparable with the very best.
One hundred years on, this updated anthology of nursery rhymes re-presents Lovat Fraser’s drawings in all their vivid glory, re-shaped to reflect the diversities of today, by author Robert Lacey and illustrator Ben Coppin.

The Magic of Nursery Rhymes
Described as ‘the novel and light reading of the infant scholar’ by the 19th century anthologist of juvenile literature James Halliwell (1820-1889), nursery rhymes provide the paths by which children can test and explore the developing power of their imaginations.
“A direct shortcut into poetry”
Nursery rhymes are little odes to joy – their fun, fables and fancy transport the spirit. This book originates from the dreams and pen of Claud Lovat Fraser (1890-1921), an artist comparable with the very best. One hundred years on, this updated anthology of nursery rhymes re-presents Lovat Fraser’s drawings in all their vivid glory, re-shaped to reflect the diversities of today, by author Robert Lacey and illustrator Ben Coppin.
