Tail Feathers from Mother Goose is as varied as the colours
in a merryman's coat, and full of strange words and mysterious
happenings. The Rhymes have been chosen, by Iona Opie from
the Opie family archives, an astonishing collection of children's
folklore and literature built up over forty years. Almost
all are unpublished: they are unusual version of known nursery
rhymes or versions sent by correspondents or versions used
by the Opies themselves...
Other illustrators include Shirley Hughes, Quentin Blake,
Peter Cross, Anthony Browne, Babette Cole... and many more.
