About the Story
“Mother Goose” is the name given to the fictional author of the Mother Goose stories and nursery rhymes. In book illustrations, Mother Goose is sometimes depicted as a goose that wears a bonnet or an elderly Welsh peasant woman who wears a hat and shawl. No specific person has been credited as the author of the Mother Goose nursery rhymes or fairy tales. The term “Mother Goose” is referenced as early as 1650 in Jean Loret’s La Muse Historique. The first Mother Goose nursery rhymes were published in 1695 by French author Charles Perrault in his book, Tales of Mother Goose.
