Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS DESIGNED TO BE SIMPLE!


The character of Simple Simon may be modeled after Simon Edy (1709-1783), a London beggar who was known as, “Old Simon”. Simon wore several hats, coats, rings, and he tried to entertain people. Londoners saw him as a simpleton, which in folklore meant “a foolish person”. The verse is thought to be part of a longer chapbook. Chapbooks were cheap, anonymous publications that were produced on crude, often recycled paper. They were sold by a tradesman (Chapman) or ceapman. The chapbooks provided reading material and news to the lower-class people who could not afford books. They were an important way of disseminating information to people, especially those who lived in rural areas, who would otherwise be uninformed. The word “cheap” was derived from ceapman.
