Show Mary's Little Lamb. Regarding the authorship of "Mary's Little I.amb." a recent number of a London magazine says: "There have been many claimants to the dlstinc- j tion. but most of the evidence seems to show that the real author was Mrs. Sarah Buell Hale, who for a number of years edited the Lady's Magazine, ti e leading journal of its kind for almost al-most half a century in the United States. She was the author of many popular poems for children, and her son, Horatio Hale, stated that the poem w;is lirst published by his mother moth-er in 1 S30." |
