Historical Mother Goose: A Jingle Book Of Facts Told In Nonsense Rhymes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a unique and entertaining collection of nursery rhymes that combines history with whimsical rhymes. The book features classic Mother Goose characters such as Humpty Dumpty and Little Bo Peep, but each rhyme is reimagined to include historical facts and figures. For example, the rhyme about Little Bo Peep now tells the story of Queen Elizabeth I and her search for a husband. The book is illustrated with charming and colorful illustrations that bring the rhymes to life. Historical Mother Goose is a fun and educational read for children and adults alike, offering a new perspective on familiar nursery rhymes.This very uncommon and rare book includes catchy airs with lyrics about the Boston Tea Party, the Declaration of Independence, Christopher Columbus, the Civil War, and other people and events related to American history. �������It is the experience of every child, that nonsense rhymes and Mother Goose jingles remain in the memory, whereas historical dates fly away as soon as the book is closed. The idea suggested itself, of wedding Father History with Mother Goose, and thus keeping Nonsense and Facts in one family.�������This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
