With b&w full-pg. + in-text drawings by Clotilde Embree Funk; color pictorial endpapers. Indianapolis librarian Mabel Leigh Hunt (1892-1971) wrote over 30 children's books based largely on her Quaker upbringing & values. ||| An `it-could-have-happened' tale about Boston's printer Thomas Fleet, his mother-in-law Elizabeth Vergoose--known as Grandmother Goose--& young John Fleet who thought he wanted to be more than just a printer. ||| Then John saw a book of nursery rhymes his father was printing--`Mother Goose's Melodies'--& his thinking changed. ||| Rather uncommon title.
