RE-PUBLICATION OF A CLASSIC
The great achievement of Iona and Peter Opie, the famous British folklorists, was to recognize years ago the power and fascination of children's rhymes, games and pastimes . . .
The Opies' first collection, "I Saw Esau," appeared in 1947. For a long time this book was out of print and unavailable; now, 10 years after Peter Opie's death, it has been reissued with lavish color illustrations by Maurice Sendak that are entrancing.
