"in Nancy. Élisabeth Charlotte authorised the construction of a hospital in the town of Bruyères. In 1730, she offered to the church of Mattaincourt the wooden gilded shrine for the relics of Pierre Fourier, the former parish priest who had been beatified on 29 January 1730. The modern ""basilique Saint-Pierre-Fournier"" was built in 1853 on the site of the former church. In 1696, the French author Charles Perrault dedicated ""Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye"", (""Tales of Mother Goose"") to Élisabeth Charlotte, who was then nineteen.

(The spelling of the name is with ""y"" although modern French uses only an ""i"".) This ""Mother Goose"" has never been identified as a person, but used to refer to popular and rural storytelling traditions in proverbial phrases of the time. (Source : ""Dictionnaire de l'Académie"", 1694, quoted by Nathalie Froloff in her edition of the ""Tales"" (Gallimard, Folio, Paris, 1999.- p. 10).) These tales, based on French popular tradition, were very popular in sophisticated court circles. Its publication made him suddenly"
"Ma mère l'Oye Ma mère l'Oye (""Mother Goose""; ""Oye"" is correctly capitalized, being a proper name) is a musical work by French composer Maurice Ravel. Ravel originally wrote ""Ma mère l'Oye"" as a piano duet for the Godebski children, Mimi and Jean, ages 6 and 7. Ravel dedicated this work for four hands to the children (just as he had dedicated an earlier work, ""Sonatine"", to their parents). Jeanne Leleu and Geneviève Durony premiered the work at the first concert of the Société musicale indépendante on 20 April 1910. The piece was transcribed for solo piano by Ravel's friend Jacques"
"Mother Goose"", which introduced ""Sleeping Beauty"", ""Little Red Riding Hood"", ""Puss in Boots"", ""Cinderella"", and other Perrault tales to English-speaking audiences. The first public appearance of the Mother Goose stories in America was in Worcester, Massachusetts, where printer Isaiah Thomas reprinted Samber's volume under the same title in 1786. Maurice Ravel ‘s ""Ma mère l'oye"" suite is dependent on Perrault’s collection. Starting with five pieces for piano duet in 1908-10, he then orchestrated them for a ballet in which two of the episodes were named after the fairy tale characters Sleeping Beauty and Tom Thumb. The ballet was first performed"
"Jean Loret's ""La Muse Historique"", collected in 1650. His remark, ""comme un conte de la Mère Oye"" (""like a Mother Goose story"") shows that the term was readily understood. Additional 17th-century Mother Goose/Mere l'Oye references appear in French literature in the 1620s and 1630s. In the 20th century, Katherine Elwes-Thomas theorised that the image and name ""Mother Goose"" or ""Mère l'Oye"" might be based upon ancient legends of the wife of King Robert II of France, known as ""Berthe la fileuse"" (""Bertha the Spinner"") or ""Berthe pied d'oie"" (""Goose-Footed Bertha"" ), often described as spinning incredible tales that enraptured children."
"republished a year later in a volume with a preface. In 1697, Jean Barbin published a newer volume containing eight more stories, titled ""Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec dez Moralitez"" (""Stories of Times Past with Moralities""). With two reprints in the same year, the volume soon came to be known by the subtitle only, ""Les Contes de ma Mère l'Oye"" (""Stories of Mother Goose""'). The subtitle was taken from the illustrated frontispiece of a woman weaving, telling stories to children who are dressed in clothing of the higher classes. Above on the wall hangs a plaque with the"

The frontispiece to the earliest English editions depicts an old woman telling tales to a group of children beneath a placard inscribed ""MOTHER GOOSE'S TALES"" and is credited with launching the Mother Goose legend in the English-speaking world.

"Mother Goose (ballet) Mother Goose is a ballet made for New York City Ballet's Ravel Festival by balletmaster Jerome Robbins to Ravel's music and scenario, the ""Ma Mère l'Oye Suite"" from 1908, orchestrated by the composer in 1912. The premiere took place on May 22, 1975, at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center, with costumes by Stanley Simmons and lighting by Jennifer Tipton. At its premiere it bore the French title, which was retained when it was first revived in January 1978 but Anglicized by May of that year. ""Ma Mère l'Oye"" was written as a suite of five"
"Mots d'Heures Mots D'Heures: Gousses, Rames: The D'Antin Manuscript (""Mother Goose's Rhymes""), published in 1967 by Luis d'Antin van Rooten is purportedly a collection of poems written in archaic French with learned glosses. In fact, they are English-language nursery rhymes written homophonically as a nonsensical French text (with pseudo-scholarly explanatory footnotes); that is, as an English-to-French homophonic translation. The result is not merely the English nursery rhyme but that nursery rhyme as it would sound if spoken in English by someone with a strong French accent. Even the manuscript's title, when spoken aloud, sounds like ""Mother Goose's Rhymes"" with a"
"of English nursery rhymes, titled ""Mother Goose's Melody, or, Sonnets for the Cradle"", helped perpetuate the name both in Britain and the United States. Mother Goose's name was identified with English collections of stories and nursery rhymes popularised in the 17th century. English readers would already have been familiar with Mother Hubbard, a stock figure when Edmund Spenser published the satire Mother Hubberd's Tale in 1590, as well as with similar fairy tales told by ""Mother Bunch"" (the pseudonym of Madame d'Aulnoy) in the 1690s. An early mention appears in an aside in a versified French chronicle of weekly events,"
"He also suggested that picture books be created for children. In the nineteenth century, a few children's titles became famous as classroom reading texts. Among these were the fables of Aesop and Jean de la Fontaine and Charles Perraults's 1697 ""Tales of Mother Goose"". The popularity of these texts led to the creation of a number of nineteenth-century fantasy and fairy tales for children which featured magic objects and talking animals. Another influence on this shift in attitudes came from Puritanism, which stressed the importance of individual salvation. Puritans were concerned with the spiritual welfare of their children, and there"
