Denslow's Mother Goose

Exploring the origins of Mother Goose, this book delves into her role as the fictional creator of a collection of French fairy tales and English nursery rhymes. The character's legacy began with a song linked to a Christmas pantomime and was solidified in the early 18th century through the English translation of Charles Perrault's fairy tales. Additionally, the compilation of nursery rhymes known as Mother Goose's Melody further popularized her name, influencing both British and American culture.
