The figure Mother Goose is the imaginary writer of the collection of fairy tales and children's songs that are often published as Old Age Goose's Rhymes, as described by Arthur Rackham in 1913. As a character, he appears in a child's poem. A Christmas pantomime called Mother Goose is often performed in England. The so-called "Mother Goose" rhymes and stories have been the basis for many classic British pantomimes.
The first appearance of the term in English began at the beginning of the 18th century, when the Charles Perrault fairy tale was first translated by Robert Samber. The son of publisher John Newbery, Thomas Carnan, was the first to use the term Mother Goose for children's songs when he published a compilation of English poetry, Mother Goose's Melody, or Sonnets for Cradle (London, 1780). ). Mother Goose is commonly portrayed in literature and book illustrations as an old country lady with a tall hat and scarf, a costume identical to a peasant costume worn in Wales in the early 20th century, but sometimes portrayed as a swan (usually wearing a hat).

Identity
Mother Goose is the name given to a typical rural woman. He is credited with the story of Mother Goose and the poetry popularized in the 17th century in English literature, although no special writer has ever been identified with such a name.
The 17th-century English readers must have been familiar with Mother Hubbard, a stock personality when Edmund Spenser published the romance of Mother Hubberd's Tale in 1590, as well as with a similar fairy tale told by "Mother Bunch" (pseudonym Madame d'Aulnoy) in the 1690s. The first mention appears in addition to the French chronicles of the weekly event, Jean Loret La Muse Historique , collected in 1650. His declaration, coma un conte de la MÃÆ'¨re Oye (" like the story of Mother Goose ") suggests that the term is easy to understand. Additional references to the Mother Goose/Mere l'Oye of the 17th century appear in French literature in the 1620s and 1630s.
In "The Real Personages of Mother Goose" (1930), Katherine Elwes-Thomas states that the image and the name "Mother Goose" or "MÃÆ'¨re l'Oye" may be based on the ancient legend of the wife of King Robert II of France, known as "Berthe la fileuse" ("Bertha the Spinner") or Berthe pied d'oie ("Goose-Foot Bertha"), which, according to Elwes-Thomas, is often depicted in the French Legend as an outer story ordinary ones that attract children.
Despite contradictory evidence, there is a familiar myth for tourists in Boston, Massachusetts, that the original Mother Goose was the wife of Boston's Isaac Goose, whether Elizabeth Foster Goose (1665-1758) or Mary Goose (d.1690 age). 42) buried in Granary Granary on Tremont Street. According to Eleanor Early, a travel writer and history of Boston in the 1930s and 40s, the original Mother Goose is a real person who lived in Boston in the 1660s. He reportedly the second wife of Isaac Goose (an alternative named Vergoose or Vertigoose), who brought to marriage six of his own children to be added to the ten Isaac. After Isaac died, Elizabeth went to live with his eldest daughter, who married Thomas Fleet, a publisher who lived in Pudding Lane (now Devonshire Street). According to Early, "Mother Goose" is used to sing songs and songs for her grandchildren throughout the day, and other kids swarm to listen to them. Finally, his son-in-law collects his jingle together and prints it, even though there is no such mold.
The leading authority on the Mother Goose tradition, Iona Opie, does not give any belief to either Elwes-Thomas or Boston. It is generally accepted that the term does not refer to a particular person.

Perrault's My Mother Goose Stories
Charles Perrault, one of the originators of the literary fable genre, published a collection of fairy tales in 1695 called Histoires ou contes du temps passà © s, avec des moralitÃÆ' © s under the name of his son. , which became better known under its subtitles Contes de ma mÃÆ'¨re l'Oye or Tales of My Mother Goose . The Perrault publication marks the first authenticated start point for the Mother Goose story.
In 1729, English translations emerged from the Perrault collection, Robert Samber Histories or Tales of Past Times, Narrated by Mother Goose , introducing Sleeping Beauty , Little Red Riding Hood , Puss in Boots , Cinderella and other Perrault stories for english audiences. This is a fairy tale.
The first public appearance of the story of Mother Goose in America was in Worcester, Massachusetts, where printer Isaiah Thomas reprinted the Samber volume of the same title in 1786.
Mother Goose as a children's song
John Newbery was once trusted to publish a compilation of English children's poems titled Mother Goose's Melody, or, Sonnets for the cradle some time in the 1760s, but the first edition was probably published in 1780 or 1781 by Thomas Carnan, one of Newberry's successors (and stepchildren). This edition was registered at Stationers' Company, London in 1780. However, no copies were tracked, and the earliest surviving edition dated 1784. The name "Mother Goose" has been linked in the English-speaking world to the poetry of children ever. since.
In 1837, John Bellenden Ker Gawler published a book (with volume sequence-2 in 1840) that took the origin of the Mother Goose from the Flemish ('Low Dutch').
In music, Maurice Ravel writes Ma mÃÆ'¨re l'oye , a suite for piano, which is then set up for a ballet. There is also a song titled "Mother Goose" by progressive rock band Jethro Tull from their 1971 Aqualung album. This song seems to have nothing to do with the figure of Mother Goose, as he is only the first of many surrealist images encountered and portrayed by the narrator through the lyrics.
"Old Mother Goose"
In addition to being a recognized author of children's poetry, Mother Goose itself is the title character of such poetry:
Pantomime
Ryoji Tsurumi has pointed out that the transition from the general figure of the shadow to one with such concrete actions was carried out on the pantomime of Harlequin and Mother Goose: or, The Golden Egg in 1806-07. Pantomime was first performed at Theater Royal, Drury Lane on December 29, and repeated many times in the new year. Harlequin and Mother Goose: or, Golden Egg , starring the famous clown Joseph Grimaldi and written by Thomas Dibdin, who found a suitable action for Mother Goose brought to the stage and made him return as a wizard -figure, Tsurumi noted. In the first scene, the direction of the stage shows him raising the storm and, for the first time, flying staring. The magical Mother Goose changed the old miserly to Pantaloon from the commedia dell'arte and British pantomime tradition, and the young lovers Colin and Colinette to Harlequin and Columbine. She is played by Samuel Simmons - a pantomime tradition that survives today - and she also creates ghosts in a horrible church gang scene.
