About this Item

First edition thus. Illustrated throughout with pen and ink drawings accompanying the text. 12mo, publisher s original illustrated boards, decorated in green on both covers. 100. A nice copy with some age mellowing a bit of shelf rubbing to the edges. AN EXACT REPRODUCTION OF THE TEXT AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE ORIGINAL EDITION PUBLISHED AND COPYRIGHTED IN BOSTON IN THE YEAR 1833 BY MUNRO &FRANCIS. Some believe the original Mother Goose was the Bostonian wife of Isaac Goose, either named Elizabeth Foster Goose (1665 1758) or Mary Goose (d. 1690). "Mother Goose" used to sing songs and ditties to her grandchildren all day, and other children swarmed to hear them. Finally, it was said, her son-in-law gathered her jingles together and printed them, but no evidence of such a printing has ever been found.
