None of us, whether children or adults, needs an introduction to Mother Goose. Those things which are earliest impressed upon our minds cling to them most tenaciously The snatches sung in the nursery are never forgotten, nor are they ever recalled without bringing back with them myriads of slumbering feelings and half-forgotten images.

THERE once lived a poor widow who supported herself and her only son by gleaning in the fieldsthe stalks of grain that had been missed by the reapers. Her little cottage was at the foot of abeautiful valley, upon the edge of the river that wound in and out among the green hills; andalthough poor, she was contented with her lot, for her home was pleasant and her lovely boy was aconstant delight to her.He had big blue eyes, and fair golden curls, and he loved his good mother very dearly, and wasnever more pleased than when she allowed him to help her with her work.And so the years passed happily away till the boy was eight years old, but then the widow fellsick, and their little store of money melted gradually away."I don't know what we shall do for bread," she said, kissing her boy with tears in her eyes, "for Iam not yet strong enough to work, and we have no money left.""But I can work," answered the boy; "and I'm sure if I go to the Squire up at the Hall he will giveme something to do."At first the widow was reluctant to consent to this, since she loved to keep her child at her side, but finally, as nothing else could be done, she decided to let him go to see the Squire.Being too proud to allow her son to go to the great house in his ragged clothes, she made him anew suit out of a pretty blue dress she had herself worn in happier times, and when it was finishedand the boy dressed in it, he looked as pretty as a prince in a fairy tale. For the bright blue jacket setoff his curls to good advantage, and the color just matched the blue of his eyes. His trousers wereblue, also, and she took the silver buckles from her own shoes and put them on his, that he mightappear the finer. And then she brushed his curls and placed his big straw hat upon them and senthim away with a kiss to see the Squire
If ever a writer and an artist were an unbeatable team, it's on these pages. Put that team to work on the most famous characters in the English language and the result can be nothing less than classic. Here two giant imaginations take on Little Boy Blue, The Cat and the Fiddle, Old King Cole, Mistress Mary, Jack Horner, The Man in the Moon, Hickory, Dickory, Dock, Bo-Peep, Tommy Tucker, Humpty Dumpty, The Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Miss Muffet and others. To create Mother Goose in Prose, the man who gave us The Wonderful Wizard of Oz started with the bare bones of the celebrated nursery rhymes and embroidered them as only a master storyteller could. Now Mary Quite Contrary lives in a real house, has a mother and is visited in her garden by a Squire. Humpty Dumpty is far from just a five line verse here and, once read, his will never be just a five line story again. Did you ever wonder how the old woman's house got to resemble a shoe? In case the reader doesn't get the picture, Baum departs from his storytelling to draw it himself. This is a charming book, with a warm introduction by Baum, who takes care to trace the vague but fascinating history of the rhymes back to 1650, through the three countries that claim Mother Goose for their own. But "the songs that cluster around her name are what we love," he reminds us. "Many of these nursery rhymes," Baum says, "are complete tales in themselves.
