- Queen Mother - British Monarch.
- Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, popularly known as 'The Queen
Mother' was the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, the present
British sovereign, and the widow of the late King George VI. The
daughter of Lord Glamis, later 14th Earl of Strathmore and
Kinghorne, she descended from the Royal House of Scotland. As
Queen she played a significant role in the life of the nation,
supporting the King and helping to uphold national morale during
the difficult years of the Second World War and its aftermath.
Widowed at the age of 51, she continued to undertake Royal
duties for the next fifty years in support of her daughter, The
Queen. The resilience, sense of duty and gracefulness of The
Queen Mother in all areas of her life earned her a secure place
in the heart of national life.

- Mother Goose - Famous childrens fable.
- The term 'Mother Goose' has been traced to Loret's 1650 La
Muse Historique in which appeared the line, Comme un conte de la
Mere Oye ("Like a Mother Goose story"). In 1697
Charles Perrault used the phrase in a published collection of
eight fairy tales which included "The Sleeping Beauty,"
"Little Red Riding Hood," "Cinderella," "Bluebeard,"
and others. Although the book was titled, (translated from
French) Histories and Tales of Long Ago, with Morals, the
frontispiece showed an old woman spinning and telling stories,
with a placard on the page which bore the words Contes de la
Mere l'Oye (Tales of My Mother the Goose). Perrault thereby set
the stage for the name to become a household word. The fact is
that "Mother Goose" rhymes are from many sources and
passed down in folklore fashion. Though, the origins of Mother
Goose terminology are vague and authorship of the verses is
known to be varied yet, we all know that "Mother Goose"
is, somehow, real.
