A Legacy of Nursery Rhymes
The origins of Mother Goose are as mysterious as the tales themselves. One American legend even suggests she was a woman from 17th-century Boston known for her rhyming stories.
Whether fact or fiction, these nursery rhymes have captured the hearts of children and adults for centuries. This collection brings back the joy of reading these classic tales aloud, as they were meant to be shared across generations.
Bringing Rhymes to Life
Fred D. Lohman and Blanche Fisher Wright were both celebrated illustrators in their time. Lohman’s whimsical art style adds character to the lively rhymes in the 1941 edition, while Wright’s elegant, detailed illustrations in the 1944 The Real Mother Goose have become iconic in children’s literature.
