MOTHER GOOSE LOST Nicholas Tucker 1971 First Edition HBDJ Mint
This fresh and rollicking collection of unfamiliar American and English rhymes, many of them hundreds of years old, was assembled by a specialist in child psychology who is a noted folklorist
Brilliantly illustrated in full color to amuse and delight a new generation of readers
Here are funny rhymes and sad ones, sweet rhymes full of courtship, nonsense verses and saucy songs
Some of them give vivid glimpses of long ago people and places-one-eyed Jack, the first pirate in a nursery rhyme, Tom Thumb and Old Famer Giles
