• "Apart from being fascinating in itself, I have to say that I learned more English history from reading your book than in 12 years of schooling in England."

  • "Thank you for coming to speak to us. Your topic is so interesting and unique and gave everyone something new to think about."

    —North Ryde Probus Group

  • "Fantastic! I thoroughly loved it. Who would have thought that it was when times were tough, that nursery rhymes were written."

    —W.E - NSW listener

  • "What a fascinating talk you gave this week. Lots of surprises and delightful beautiful images. I'm so looking forward to reading more in your book. I've ordered one for my sisters birthday too. Enjoy your travels back in the UK and giving lots more people an understanding of the meaning behind the nursery rhymes we all recited growing up. Thank you Susan."

  • "On behalf of the U3AC, we cannot thank you enough for your outstanding lecture this afternoon on Rhyme and Reason. We take nursery rhymes for granted reciting them to children, and it was fascinating to have your reflections on their political and social background. The zoom audience was over 100 and the room was full, we have all been left with some interesting ideas to ponder."

    S.G and N.R - U3A Cambridge
