Meaning & History

Wynkyn de Worde (originally Jan van Wynkyn) was William Caxton's journeyman, after whose death he became the first printer to set up his shop in Fleet Street, "which was for centuries perhaps the world's most famous centre of printing." It was used in the popular children's poem Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (Dutch Lullaby) (1889).
