Description
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle. Before bedtime in the little cottage by the canal, the children beg for one more rhyme, then another, then just one more. Their grandmother knows dozens by heart, and she recites them in the same lilting voice her own grandmother used, while the lamplight flickers and the canal boats drift past the window. The youngest always falls asleep before the end of Little Bo Peep.
Mother Goose herself is the guardian of those rhymes, and here she is in porcelain: a classic portrait of the beloved storyteller, painted in rich colors with intricate detail, as welcoming as a favorite picture book. She doubles as a trinket box for small treasures, a perfect spot for a first tooth or a tiny note from the tooth fairy. Compact enough for a nursery shelf, a desk or a bedside table, she brings old-fashioned storybook warmth to any room. Collectors of bird figurines will find her a delightful addition, and parents may find themselves reciting rhymes just from looking at her.
