Hush Little Baby: A Folk Lullaby

HUSH LITTLE BABY is a folk lullaby that was first sung to put children to sleep in England. With its warmth and humor, it became a favorite among folk singers of the Appalachian Mountain region, and now it is well known in many other parts of our country, where it has been perennially popular with singers and listeners. There are many versions of this lullaby. This is one of them. In this version of the popular lullaby, a winsome little boy is portrayed in a gently humorous way. He wavers between delight and disappointment over the many gifts he is promised. Colorfully painted on wood, Aliki's illustrations are set against the 18th century backgrounds of the song's origin.

The Epic Beautiful: An English Verse Rendering of the Sundara Kanda of the Ramayana of Valmiki

The 'Sundara Kanda'--the seed-book or bija-kanda as it has been called, of the Ramayana of Valmiki--is here presented as an autonomous epic by itself, arranged under Seven Books. The verse form used is a 4-line unit in lieu of the Sanskrit anushtup sloka. I have attempted, however, neither a word-for-word translation, nor always a sloka-stanza correspondence. The span of thought often overflows the quatrain mould, thereby softening the metrical monotony.
