Two Vintage Mother Goose Books includes Mother Goose 1941 & The Real Mother Goose 1944

$33.00$0.00

This bundle includes two Mother Goose books: Mother Goose, A Complete Compilation of Mother Goose Melodies, illustrated by Fred D. Lohman and Ethel Hays, The Saalfield Publishing Company, copyright 1941, and The Real Mother Goose, illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright, Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, copyright 1916, renewal copyright 1944, and both books shown are included in the sale.

Both covers show wear, The Real Mother Goose has heavy scuffing on its back board, and the Saalfield book has rips and tape stains on some pages, while the color pictures in both are still bright, as the photos show.

Between them the two books gather the familiar nursery rhymes, from Little Bo-Peep and Little Boy Blue to The House That Jack Built and A Carrion Crow. The Saalfield book opens with a short history titled Who Was Mother Goose.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
