Vintage 1980's Three Blind Mice Hand Puppet Farmer's Wife Nursery Rhyme Pink Handmade

This adorable hand puppet is from the 1980's. It is from our vintage toy collection.

It was much loved.

There are some minor discoloration spots on the pink felt. I have not attempted to clean it.

Hand measures approx. 7 x 4 .

The mice and the farmer's wife are so cute.

The Three Blind Mice had top billing in a classic nursery rhyme that was published on October 12, 1609. At this time in England, James I was king, Guy Fawkes & co. had tried to blow up Parliament a few years earlier, and William Shakespeare had most likely just written the late romances Coriolanus and Pericles, Prince of Tyre (certainly not his two most famous works).

Just a few hundred years later, this is the modern version of the plight of the Three Blind Mice that we all know and love:

Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails
