About this Item

Second printing. Bound in blue cloth-covered boards with blind imprint design on the front board and gold lettering on the spine; top page edges tinted yellow (here with a small mark); some wear to spine ends and corners. The text by the multi-talented van Rooten (1906-1973) includes nursery rhymes written in French to sound vaguely English--for example, the title when spoken comes out as "Mother Goose Rhymes," while the actual French translation is absurdist (Words of Hours: Pods, Paddles). The dust jacket is price-clipped; heavily chipped and edgeworn, with two closed tears along the spine; Brodart protected.
