Boulter states that the inspiration for the album came after the birth of his son, when:
"I began thinking of songs and nursery rhymes from my own childhood to play to him. I realised there was a lot of interesting and almost forgotten music, from the school room, the radio, and the television, that maybe was the reason I'd begun to make my own music in the first place."[3]
Initial copies of the CD were accompanied by a hardback book containing artwork by Sexton Ming.[4]
