ublisher: Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd., New York - London - Paris , 1904. 16 illustrated pages including covers. Illustrated with 10 Color and more in Brown and White (cover and 4 pages in color, others in brown and white). Slim 4to (14.5 by 7.5 inches), color illustrated stiff card cover stock. A bit worn with minor and moderate wear, 3 short tears on the rear cover, one to the front cover which is starting a chip area, assorted creasing and an abrasion/chip /1/2" semi-circle to top Left-hand corner. NO repairs have been made, I much prefer to have a seasoned professional look at it and do that. This particular 'Father Tuck' title is very uncommon, likely due to its popularity, not many examples remain on the open market at any price. The front full-color lithograph illustration of Mother Goose (and her Goose) remains in quite lovely, still bright & shiney condition. Photos available.

Synopsis

Pat-a-Cake," "Simple Simon," "Rock-a-bye, Baby:" these and the many other rhymes that make up Mother Goose have become almost as much a staple of child-rearing as the rattle and the bottle. Little ones love its mix of lullabies and limericks, humor and sing-song verse, and they learn from it too. Gyo Fujikawa brought her inimitable style to this version, which features a mix of enchanting line drawings and warm color pictures. Adorable mice, led by a duck in uniform, man the boat in "I Saw a Ship a-Sailing." A multicultural group of children circle round "The Mulberry Bush." And "The Three Kittens" have never been cuter. Fujikawa has succeeded in creating a truly magical world for kids to enter.
