Mother Goose

Traditional rhymes and stories have been collected under the wing of Mother Goose for centuries and this collection of favourite nursery rhymes has been put together by the famous illustrator Arthur Rackham. It is a wonderful collection of old favourites from Jack and Jill, Baa, Baa, Black Sheep and Who Killed Cock Robin? to comic alphabets and the fearful fate of Anthony Rowley. It is illustrated with Rackham's beautiful pen and ink drawings, and is one of his finest books. ILLUSTRATOR: Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) was an English illustrator responsible for the pictures in a huge number of classic children's titles, many of which feature in the Wordsworth list. 'Mother Goose' was a collection of traditional nursery rhymes which he edited and illustrated.
