Author Notes:	Elizabeth Hammill has been fascinated with what Iona Opie calls the "international exchange and flow" of rhymes and verse for young children. Now, with Over the Hills and Far Away, she is able to present a wide-ranging nursery-rhyme collection that reflects these diverse voices and places them alongside traditional favorites. Originally from the United States, Elizabeth Hammill now lives in England.
