Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards was an American writer famous for her children's books, biographies and poetry. First published in 1890, In My Nursery is a unique collection of more than a hundred charming ageless nursery rhymes, including The Baby's Future, The First Tooth, The Ballad of the Fairy Spoon, Good-night Song, Jingle, Little Old Baby and other. Richards dedicates the book to her mother Julia Ward Howe, famous for writing the words to The Battle Hymn of the Republic. A classic example of Richards' lively and undeniably pleasant style, this book is a real treasure.
