Summary: Wonderful Edition of Mother Goose
Review: My wife and I had been searching for a high-quality, hardback edition of Mother Goose both to read to our daughter and to treat as a keepsake, and we struggled to find something we were happy with. This edition ended our search - it is just fantastic. It has a great range of nursery rhymes - all the traditional ones and plenty of less common ones; and each nursery rhyme is accompanied by two beautiful illustrations (that come from notable illustrators from the turn of the century through the 40's and 50's). The production quality is very high for the whole book - especially the illustrations. And my daughter loves it...she asks for it every night, stares intently at the illustrations, and has started repeating the rhymes throughout the day.
The book has preserved the traditional language of the nursery rhymes as well, for better or for worse depending on what you are looking for. Some of the language is very British, and there has been no modern updating of either language or themes for any of the nursery rhymes - something that some Mother Goose books have taken on.
All in all, we have just been thrilled with this book. It has absolutely served the purpose of being fun and readable and being a special, high quality edition worthy of treating as a keepsake/special book.

Summary: A Classic to Keep For Years
Review: This is a truly beautiful book. The illustrations are museum like quality -- no amateur artists here. The selection of Mother Goose tales is impressive. The paper is thick stock, high grade. This is a book that you will want to keep for many years, that both children and adults will enjoy.
