"MOTHER GOOSE" by Michael Foreman hardcover picture book 1991 dust cover and covered with plastic, Very Good Condition (writing on first page cut out, 2nd page gray lead writing erased).

As Iona Opie remarks in her Foreward, Mother Goose rhymes are the first furnishings of the mind... they are full of poetically and effortless absurdity. In this volume there are over two hundred of the best-known and loved - as well as every favorite nursery character, from Jack Sprat to Little Jack Horner. Each lavish double page has its own setting against which individual, thematically linked rhymes are illustrated. There are also intriguing visual links from one scene to the next: while Mary, Mary and the pretty maid work in the garden, for instance, two legs waggle in the air on the wall above them - when the page is turned, the legs are seen to belong to a now-broken Humpty Dumpty. There are pages of lullibies, action rhymes, nonsense verse, riddles and tongue-twisters. It's a classic Mother Goose and the crowning jewel in the career of one of the world's greatest illustrators.
