EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Evans Picture Library's captivating image of "Contrary Mary" or "April Baby," depicts a young girl in a vibrant, floral print dress, holding a hoe and gazing up at a garden in bloom. The scene is a charming interpretation of the classic nursery rhyme, "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," which has puzzled and delighted children for generations. This rhyme, with its enigmatic verses, has been a source of fascination in the realm of English folklore since its first recorded appearance in print in the late 17th century. The rhyme describes a woman named Mary, who is "quite contrary," planting her garden with "cockle-shells and cockle-shells," and "silver bells and cockle-shells." The rhyme concludes with the intriguing line, "All covered with silver foil," leaving many to ponder its hidden meaning. The origins of the rhyme are shrouded in mystery, with various theories suggesting it may have been inspired by Queen Mary, Queen of Scots, or even the Virgin Mary. Regardless of its origins, the rhyme has become an enduring part of English literature and folklore, and this delightful image of "Contrary Mary" or "April Baby" beautifully encapsulates the whimsy and wonder of this timeless nursery rhyme. The garden in the image is a riot of color, with a variety of flowers and blooms, including roses, daisies, and tulips, creating a scene of idyllic beauty. The young girl, with her rosy cheeks and mischievous grin, embodies the spirit of curiosity and playfulness that has made this rhyme a beloved part of our cultural heritage. This evocative image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in English folklore, nursery rhymes, or the history of children's literature. It is a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the simple joys of childhood.
