Question

Iona and Peter Opie studied the Lore and Language of this type of person in Great Britain. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this type of person, who is targeted by a class of monsters including the English bugbear. This type of person is also preyed upon by a figure who steals their eyes and takes the eyes to the moon.
ANSWER: (school)children [kids; accept youth; prompt on students with “in what stage of life?” and accept answers indicating childhood; reject “babies” or “infants”] (The bugbear is a bogeyman. The Sandman steals the eyes of children who won’t sleep.)
[10e] Childlore is often transmitted through these chanted or sung texts, which include “Jack and Jill” and “Ring around the Rosie.”
ANSWER: nursery rhymes [prompt on rhymes]
[10h] The oldest English nursery rhyme collections are “songbooks” titled for a figure with this name. A figure with this name survives a childhood run-in with a red cow and dies much later of a spider bite.
ANSWER: Tom Thumb [or Tommy Thumb; prompt on Tom or Tommy]
