About the Book ~"This is a study published in 1930, the result of some 25 years research into the historic origins, the chronology of the nursery rhymes we know as Mother Goose. Many of us know that Humpty Dumpty, King Cole, Jack Horner, the Queen of Hearts and some of the others had contemporary significance, and related to then~known figures in the political scene. But the keen satires, the refurbishing of folklore in the making, the political and religious diatribes are seldom considered as we chant the rhymes to nursery age children today. A large number were of Jacobite origin, and their very sources automatically discredit the claims made by Boston to Mrs. Goose herself, while the French claims are authentic only as related to nursery tales." ~ Kirkus Review ~ ~ ~ ~ ~This Book would be nice for any Historian, Collector, or for anyone interested in Mother Goose History!It would be a nice Gift!If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SHIPPING & PAYMENT INFORMATION PLEASE USE THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR AT THE BOTTOMor contact us for a quote We will be happy to combine Shipping Charges for multiple purchases that can ship in the same package (for Domestic or International packages) Domestic or International EXPRESS MAIL shipping IS available upon request ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ International Buyers Please contact us for a shipping quote ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ International Buyers - Please Note Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
