""Comparative Studies in Nursery Rhymes"" is a scholarly work written by Lina Eckenstein that explores the origins and meanings of nursery rhymes from different cultures. The book is divided into two parts: the first part examines the history and evolution of nursery rhymes in Europe, while the second part delves into the similarities and differences between nursery rhymes from various cultures around the world. Eckenstein uses linguistic analysis, historical research, and comparative mythology to uncover the hidden meanings and cultural significance of these beloved children's songs.
