Summary
Loose sheet from the manuscript dummy HIL.R.34 containing a pencil-written rhyme and 3 pencil illustrations. The largest illustration is of two rabbits, one carrying a basket and one carrying a purse; the two smaller drawings are of a scene at the market and on the journey home. The sheet was slipped in between pages 46 and 47 of the dummy book. To market! To market! now isn't this funny?/ You've got a basket , and I've got some money!/ We went to market, and I spent my money -/ Home again! home again, little Miss Bunny! See also HIL.R.34, the dummy book; HIL.R.34.1 - HIL.R.34.30 and HIL.R.34.32 - HIL.R.34.49, further rhymes and illustrations.
