    About this ebook

    A wonderful collection of classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales, penned by the legendary Mother Goose and illustrated by Arthur Rackham.

    Mother Goose is the pen-name for the celebrated author of over 100 original fairy tales and nursery rhymes. The author’s identity remains unknown, and some believe that she never existed. It was Charles Perrault who first published a collection of Mother Goose’s writings in 1697, initiating the fairy tale genre. This collection is accompanied by Arthur Rackham’s illustrations. A masterful artist from the Golden Age of Illustration, Rackham’s work complements this volume’s classic verse.

      MOTHER GOOSE

      OLD NURSERY RHYMES

      NURSERY RHYMES

      I’LL tell you a story

      About Jack-a-Nory,—

      And now my story’s begun:

      I’ll tell you another

      About Jack and his brother,—

      And now my story’s done.

      JACK SPRAT could eat no fat,

      His wife could eat no lean:

      And so, betwixt them both,

      They lick’d the platter clean.

      SEE, saw, Margery Daw,

      Johnny shall have a new master;

      He shall have but a penny a day,

      Because he can’t work any faster.

      NURSERY RHYMES

      SEE, saw, Margery Daw

      Sold her bed and lay upon straw.

      Was not she a dirty slut,

      To sell her bed and lie in the dirt!

      PAT-A-CAKE, pat-a-cake, baker’s man!

      Make me a cake as fast as you can:

      Prick it and stick it, and mark it with B,

      And put it in the oven for Baby and me.

      ROCK-A-BYE, baby, thy cradle is green;

      Father’s a nobleman, mother’s a queen;

      And Betty’s a lady, and wears a gold ring;

      And Johnny’s a drummer, and drums for the king.

      MOTHER GOOSE

      LITTLE BO-PEEP has lost her sheep,

      And can’t tell where to find them;

      Leave them alone, and they’ll come home,

      And bring their tails behind them.

      Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,

      And dreamt she heard them bleating;

      But when she awoke she found it a joke,

      For they were still a-fleeting.

      Then up she took her little crook,

      Determined for to find them;

      She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,

      For they’d left their tails behind them.

      Little Bo-peep

      RIDE a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,

      To see a fine lady upon a white horse;

      With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,

      She shall have music wherever she goes.

      MOTHER GOOSE

      BYE, baby bunting.

      Daddy’s gone a hunting,

      To get a little rabbit’s skin

      To wrap the baby bunting in.

      A GAME WITH THE FACE

      HOW many days has my baby to play?

      Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

      Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

      Enjoying the preview?
