Abstract

en_US This book is heavy on the nursery stories and rhymes mentioned first in the title. At the book's end come six stories including three fables and The Three Bears, Red Riding Hood, and Cinderella. The first of the fables is The Heron and the Fish. The heron was rather a faddy bird. This fable features a lovely colored illustration by Charles Robinson. There is also a line drawing after the fable of the heron having captured a snail. LM has a nice rhyming moral: Never despise a humble friend;/Perhaps he'll save you in the end. TH is presented in rhyming couplets. The book is well scribbled, well used, and sometimes not so well colored! There is no pagination. There are colored illustrations by Frank Adams and Hassatt (?) as well as Robinson. Hassatt's colored cover-picture of Mother Goose makes the old girl look quite masculine. This work represents one of those cases where shipping costs are more than six times the price of the book!
