Jack and Jill

A nursery rhyme retold from Mother Goose

This reader retells the classic nursery rhyme 'Jack and Jill' from Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes, a collection illustrated by John Gilbert, Walter Crane, John Tenniel, Harrison Weir and Johann Baptist Zwecker in the nineteenth century. The rhyme has been loved by children for generations because it tells a simple story of an accident, care and forgiveness — the kinds of things that happen in every family. Even when something goes wrong, kindness and saying sorry can make things right again. This text reflects its era.
