Mother Goose in Prose
There was a little man and he had a little gun
BY L. FRANK BAUM Illustrated by MAXFIELD PARRISH New York MCMI
NONE of us, whether children or adults, needs an introduction to Mother Goose. Those things which are earliest impressed upon our minds cling to them the most tenaciously. The snatches sung in the nursery are never forgotten, nor are they ever recalled without bringing back with them myriads of slumbering feelings and half-forgotten images.
L. Frank Baum
