A Troublesome Flock

"A Troublesome Flock: A Mother Goose Play for Children" by Elizabeth F. Guptill is a play written with young audiences in mind. Its 25 characters were, in fact, designed to be played by children in schools or community halls. Featuring the beloved Mother Goose and a gaggle of other recognizable and new characters like Humpty Dumpty and the Little Boy Blue, the text is a whimsical tale that brings together magic and valuable lessons about friendship, responsibility, and how to grow into a productive member of society.
