The Real Mother Goose by Blanche Fisher Wright. In fact, the first author of this book was a famous writer of the 17th century, Charles Perrault. Apart from Riquet with the Tuft, all the fairy tales by Charles Perrault are the folk stories’ adaptations. Later the collection called The Real Mother Goose was published. At first, it contained only eight fairy tales, written in prose. In the beginning of the 20th century a new illustrated edition was released that included more than 300 fairy tales, poems and songs. All the illustrations were made by a famous artist Blanche Fisher Wright, a classic of the illustrated literature for children.
