Published in Boston by Monroe & Francis in 1833, *The Only True Mother Goose* promises authenticity in a field crowded with rival collections of nursery rhymes. The book gathers verses that had passed through English and American households for generations, and its appearance reflects the growing market for illustrated children's books in the 1830s, when Boston publishers issued affordable editions for families and schools. The bold title hints at the competition among publishers, a reminder that these rhymes were as much commercial property as folk inheritance.
