Mother Goose in Prose (Version 2)

L. Frank Baum
(4,528 Sterne; 18 Bewertungen)
Before he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897. Taking 22 beloved nursery rhymes, he explains their meaning and fascinating history. What is the true story of Little Boy Blue? Why was Mary contrary?
As he says in the introduction, "Many of these nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be I have thought the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines. For that reason I have written this book." L. Frank Baum ( Summary by Phil Chenevert) (4 hr 29 min)

These mother goose tales are just a bunch of whimsical kids stories. The author failed to discuss the injustice experienced by nonbinary bipocs at the hands of cissy white males. The very term 'Mother' Goose is cis-normative and should not be included in 'kids' stories. Kids should not listen to this. Kids need to be listening to discourses on the endemic inequality that is foundational to Western Civilization.
