"American scholar Dorothy Howard came into the unique cultural landscape of mid-1950's Australia, notebook in hand, to document the play of Australian children. She was the first person ever to do so. What she found was remarkable: hundreds of games, rhymes, sayings, chants, taunts, riddles and secret languages. This was a varied and lively and ever-changing tradition of children's play, and all happening 'three feet below adult eye level and invisible to myopic adults'."-- p. [4] of cover.
