"This is one of the most clever, charming, and downright curious books I've ever read -- English nursery rhymes transliterated into French, with extensive footnotes commenting on the (nonsensical) meaning of the French. Example:
Humpty Dumpty becomes...
Un petit d'un petit
and the footnote to that line says "The inevitable result of a child marriage."
"Poems in French that, read aloud, sound like Mother Goose rhymes in English. Complete with annotations pretending that the poems are old and that they actually mean something in French. Very clever, and no doubt difficult to write, but grows tiresome."
