Mother Goose

Mother Goose is not a Nursery Song nor a Rhyme, but a collection of rhymes.

It is believed that Mother Goose is an imaginary author of a collection of fairy tales, nursery songs and rhymes.This collection is often published as Mother Goose Rhymes.

"Mother Goose" herself is often depicted as an elderly woman in country attire wearing a shawl and tall hat and is sometimes drawn as a goose.

The so-called "Mother Goose" rhymes and stories form the basis for many classic Australian and British pantomimes.

The nursery songs page show some of the Mother Goose rhymes.
