Mother (Goose) in hieroglyphics

Whether you call them hieroglyphics, rebus rhymes, or simply pictures that take the place of words, there is a perennial charm in guessing at delightful woodcuts that take on such forms as cats, children, haystacks, queens, pies, saws, apples, roses, and many, many more forms. Mother Goose is always a delight, and these hieroglyphics make her even more delightful. First published in 1849, "Mother Goose in Hieroglyphicks" has long been a children's favorite. Surely no one could argue that children won't find in these rhymes and quaint picture clues a happy challenge to their powers of imagination. This is an unabridged facsimile republication of the Brown and Taggard (Boston) 1860 edition, with a new postscript by E. F. Bleiler.
