Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Uncle Wiggily and Mother Goose" by Howard Roger Garis is a children's storybook likely written in the early 20th century. The book is a collection of whimsical tales featuring the adventures of Uncle Wiggily, a kind and adventurous rabbit gentleman, as he interacts with characters from Mother Goose nursery rhymes, like Little Boy Blue and Little Bo Peep. Through an endearing narrative style that blends fun and moral lessons, it invites young readers into a colorful world of imagination. The opening of the story introduces Uncle Wiggily Longears, who is warmly residing in his hollow-stump bungalow alongside Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, a muskrat lady. Their peaceful life is disrupted when Uncle Wiggily learns from Mother Goose that his home has burned down while he was away. Though distressed, Uncle Wiggily adopts a positive attitude and decides to stay with various friends until he can rebuild. This sets the stage for his later adventures in the company of the beloved characters from the nursery rhyme world, emphasizing themes of friendship and resilience.
