The now-classic Mother Goose first began appearing in postcards, newspapers, and magazines in the late 19th century. Although the rhymes have changed over the years as one generation orally passes them on to the next, here is a collection of not only antique illustrations by various artists but also traditional nursery rhymes that bring back childhood memories. With drawings from famous turn-of-the-century artists like Kate Greenaway, Walter Crane, and Thomas Nast, this book is a perfect addition to any household where the spirit of Mother Goose lives on.
