A rather extraordinary beginning
A not-quite-golden egg. An unlikely path to literary life. Nurseryland looks different when the goose himself is telling the story.
The curtain rises
Every legend has
another side.
The world knows Mother Goose.
Father Goose has a few things to add.
From an extraordinary hatching in a not-quite-golden egg to his rise as the bard of Nurseryland, Father Goose finally sets the record straight—with scandals, triumphs, tender moments, and a healthy opinion of himself.
Playful verse and satirical wit give way to something quieter: a life shaped by rhyme, memory, and the partner beside him.
