Mother Goose rhymes
Illustration of books -- United States

Pen and ink illustration of an old woman wearing a long pointed hat sitting in a basket in the air. She is holding a broomstick with the broom facing upward, the stick between her closed knees, and her right hand on it. She is looking down at the moon, its frowning face looking up at her. There are clouds and stars beyond.
