Telling Stories: Nursery Rhymes, Fables and Fairy Tales from the Sheila R. Bourke Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collecting children\u2019s literature has been a lifelong passion for Mrs. Sheila R. Bourke and the donation of her collection to the McGill University Library has placed a magisterial research collection at the disposal of university scholars and students. The collection contains twenty-three hundred works of early and modern children’s literature, written and illustrated by the most prominent names in the field, and spanning five centuries of artistic and literary creativity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For this exhibition, we have selected fine examples of books of nursery rhymes, of Aesop\u2019s fables and of fairy tales to celebrate the cataloguing of Mrs. Bourke\u2019s gift.<\/p>\n
