Mother Goose for Grown Folks

What happens when nursery rhymes grow up? In “Mother Goose for Grown Folks,” Adeline DT Whitney takes familiar childhood jingles and reimagines them with a sharp eye and a witty tongue. Behind the playful rhymes lies a deeper commentary on social roles, domestic life, and the virtues expected of 19th-century men and women. Both charming and thought-provoking, this satirical twist on tradition delivers moral messages with rhythm and rhyme — and a wink to the wise.
"Mother Goose for Grown Folks" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1883.
