Litttle Miss Muffet
There are contradictory ideas about the origins of this little tale. Some say Mr Muffet was an entomologist and his poor daughter got frightened by one of his spiders, while others say that it might be about Mary, Queen of Scots, who was thought to have been scared by John Knox, a Scots spiritual reformer in the 16th century.
