Real Mother Goose

English · 1916 · 1h 56m · Poetry, Children's Fiction

Real Mother Goose gathers familiar nursery rhymes in a collection for young listeners and the adults sharing them. Short, rhythmic verses invite reading aloud, singing, and returning to favorite lines.

Its poems range from playful nonsense to simple scenes and characters drawn from childhood tradition. The brief forms and repeating sounds make the collection easy to dip into, whether for a few rhymes at bedtime or a longer listening session.

First published in 1916, this edition offers a window into the nursery-rhyme tradition: compact verses passed from one generation to the next, remembered as much for their cadence as for their words.
