The Frog Who Would a Wooing Go

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A classic picture book featuring a frog wooing a mouse. Strangely the Gutenberg ebook includes two versions of this story, one in verse and one in prose. Perhaps the author was experimenting. I preferred the prose version, but they were both rather lousy.

The story of a frog wooing a mouse is old, and by my research, it first appeared in the sixteenth century, and most possibly is a Scottish tale and originally known as ‘Frog Went A-Courtin’. The edition I found (1908) begins with a poem.
