Summary
'Mother Goose's Menagerie' was written by Carolyn Wells, and contains the beautiful colour illustrations of Peter Newell. The book encompasses favourite tales such as 'Five Little Pigs', 'Mother Hubbard's Dog', 'Mary's Lamb' 'The Three Bears' and 'The Cow that Jumped Over the Moon' - all of which appear in their original translation. Carolyn Wells (1864-1942) was an American author and poet, who penned many works of fiction as well as a series of adult mysteries. Her masterful text is accompanied by the drawings of Peter Newell (1862-1924), a fellow American artist and author. A native of Illinois, Newell built a reputation for his humorous drawings and poems, which appeared in many magazines, as well writing and illustrating his own children's books. The combination of Wells' text and Newell's illustrations create a wonderful book - to be revelled and delighted in by both young and old alike.
