Nearly twenty years after it’s first edition, Clotty Malotty and Her Friends returns to print.

This book focuses on rhymes from the settled and Traveller community of North Dublin but it opens the doorway to explore rhymes from different cultures around the world. Rhymes, ditties, lullabies and jingles are universal and are part of the heritage of every culture.

This book supports a developmental education approach through discussion around the roots of rhymes and what they tell us about living conditions in ‘the old days’ and can act as a prompt for a wider discussion about poverty, justice and fairness in the world today.
