Mother Goose of Yesteryear

"A book to be shared with a special child, preferably over hot cocoa." --The Iowan magazine

"This book would make a pleasant gift for a child or collector or lover of Mother Goose." --Maine Antique Digest

The magic of Mother Goose comes to life in this collection of lore, illustrations, ads, and postcards from the late 1800s to the 1930s. Each chapter explores the history of Mother Goose from the first publications of her now-famous nursery rhymes to early postcards that became collectibles in the early 1900s.

With illustrations from well-known artists such as Kate Greenaway, Thomas Nast, Walter Crane, and Ethel Franklin Betts, the author brings Mother Goose to life. Included are dozens of nursery rhymes with everything from children's classics like "Old King Cole" to riddles like "I was going to St. Ives."
