Does anyone know if I can use nursery rhymes in my novel? Or am I treading on any copyright toes?
I had a google and can't find much.

Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.
This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.
Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…
We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Project Gutenberg is fantastic.@Barbara, you could try searching Project Gutenberg or other public domain sites for 'nursery rhymes' or something specific - if it's there, you can use it. Here's Andrew Lang's The Nursery Rhyme Book.
nursery rhymes a surely in the same vein as 'folk stories' think of hans christian andersson or the brothers grymn. they sourced their material from well layed down sources... i am pretty sure 'humpty dumpty' harks back to the english civil war...or even 'Ring a ring of rossies' is a refference to the pbubonic plague in London ??? cant see anyone giving you a hard time if you use something that old ?
