The Mother Goose Letters gathers a playful, annotated exchange between Mother Goose and her nursery rhyme companions in Britain as they debate a bold move to the Canadian Prairies. Through their spirited correspondence, she urges her fellow characters to uproot, while they respond with curiosity, resistance, and humour.

Prompted by a fictional cease and desist order from No. 10 Downing Street, Mother Goose argues for the freedom of her stories to travel, evolve, and adapt to new times and places. Her letters show a storyteller determined to keep her tales alive by letting them change alongside the people who tell them.

Presented in print for the first time, this collection offers carefully assembled research in the form of previously unseen letters and fresh revisions of classic Mother Goose nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Familiar characters and verses become the framework for a contemporary reflection on migration and belonging.

Blending literary playfulness with thoughtful social commentary, The Mother Goose Letters will appeal to readers interested in folklore, reinterpretations of childhood classics, and stories that connect traditional tales to modern questions of identity and movement.
