Mother Goose's Bicycle Tour
by M. A. Bonnell
About the author
M. A. Bonnell is credited with Mother Goose's Bicycle Tour, a Canadian children's book published in 1901. Public-domain and library records identify the work as a nursery-rhyme collection for young readers, and LibriVox describes Bonnell as a Canadian children's author.
Sources connected with the book also link the pen name "M. S. G." to "Mary Susan Goose," suggesting a playful authorial persona built into the work itself. Because reliable biographical information about Bonnell appears to be scarce, most surviving details center on this book rather than on the author's personal life.
What does come through clearly is the tone of the writing: light, whimsical, and designed to entertain children while introducing French words and familiar Mother Goose characters in a fresh way. That gives Bonnell a small but memorable place in the history of classic children's literature.
