Should we add Mother Goose to the list of endangered species? Possibly. The advent of television and our increasingly busy schedules tend to crowd such treasures as lullabies and fairy tales from the lives of our children--unless of course they come to us courtesy of the Disney Corporation. Fortunately, we have British folklorist Iona Opie and illustrator Rosemary Wells there to serve as our last line of defence against the disappearance of Mother Goose and her menagerie of animals and humans. Together, the pair has collaborated on an enchanting collection of Mother Goose rhymes that should help ensure that these charming little poems remain a part of our culture for at least another generation or two.
This is, without a doubt, the mother of all rhyme books. * The Sunday Telegraph * Nursery rhyme annthologies are ubiquitous, but this is special. New aunts, uncles, godparents and grandparents need seek no further. * The Sunday Times *
