Mother Goose

Or the Old Nursery Rhymes

A charming collection of traditional English nursery rhymes. The book brings together beloved verses such as Jack and Jill, Little Bo-Peep, and Humpty Dumpty, celebrating the rhythm, humor, and whimsy of childhood folklore. Greenaway’s gentle, pastoral illustrations complement the rhymes with scenes of children in quaint 18th-century attire, frolicking through gardens, meadows, and cozy homes. Her artwork adds warmth and visual narrative to the classic verses, making the collection appealing to both young readers and adults.

First published in 1881, this edition is derived from the original book with 48 color illustrations by Kate Greenaway. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
