Children's Nursery Rhyme Fairy Tale
c. 1940
The earliest recorded version of this rhyme is in Gammer
Gurton's Garland or The Nursery Parnassus published in
London in 1784. I'm not sure if I
would disclose the entire verse, as with most very early
rhymes for children, they are somewhat harsh or violent
.....
Goosey goosey gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady's chamber.
There I met an old man
Who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took him by his left leg
And threw him down the stairs
Measures approx. 7.75" by 9.5"
Hand painted wooden nursery rhyme wall plaque that is
regarding the very early Goosey Goosey Gander. 3D in nature
with the cutout wood raised above the panel.
Hooks on back, ready to hang in a Nursery or child's
room.
