Best Story Of A Book

Heavy Words Lightly Thrown: the Reasons Behind the Rhymes is an exceedingly funny and entertaining book that tells the history of some of the most common nursery rhymes (London Bridge, Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty etc.).

So, while I absolutely love this book, I like the tale behind it even more. It was written by a London-based tour guide who realized that (during his tours) the background on nursery rhymes was incredibly popular.

He set out to write a book and was forced through a variety of circumstances to self-publish. The book went global, attracted a publisher and is on the shelves (both virtual and otherwise) today.

It is every self-publishers dream, yes?
