Charles Perrault is believed to be the initiator of the fairy tale genre when he published his fairy tale collection in 1695.

Mother Goose Day was founded in 1987 by Gloria T. Delamar in tandem with the publication of her book, Mother Goose; From Nursery to Literature. For more information on National Mother Goose Day visit The Official Home of the Mother Goose Society.
