Excerpt from Mother Goose for Grown Folks: A Christmas Reading Wisdom Of babes, the nursery Shak speare still, Cackles she ever with the same good-will Uttering deep counsels in a foolish guise, That come as warnings, even to the wise; As when, of old, the martial city slept, Unconscious. Of the wily foe that crept Under the midnight, till the alarm was heard Out from the mouth of Rome's plebeian bird.

Adeline Dutton Train Whitney was born in Boston, Massachussets, the daughter of Adeline (Dutton) and Enoch Train and the descendant of John Traine who emigrated from England in 1635 and settled in Watertown, Massachussets.
At the age of thirteen she entered the private school for young ladies kept by George B. Emerson in Boston. For the thorough training in Latin and in English composition that she received there, she was always grateful.
In a work written after she was seventy, Friendly Letters to Girl Friends (1896), appearing first in the Ladies' Home Journal, she declared that the methods and ideals of Emerson had been the moulding influences of her life. She was a wide reader of both prose and poetry. What she described as "home and neighborhood books" especially attracted her in her youth, and she found in the works of Miss Edgeworth, Miss Sedgwick, Mrs. Child, and other women writers her first incentive to authorship. She contributed an occasional article to local papers before her marriage, but her regular book-making did not begin until the youngest of her four children was eight years old. Milton became her home after 1843, and there most of her books were written. She won her first success with a little volume called Boys at Chequasset (1862), based upon the adventures and interests of her own son. The following year she published Faith Gartney's Girlhood, an extremely popular book, which ran to twenty editions. The Gayworthys (1865), published both in London and Boston, added to her reputation. After the appearance of two serials in the monthly magazine, Our Young Folks, later published in book form - A Summer in Leslie Goldthwaite's Life (1866) and We Girls (1870) - she wrote two other tales, Real Folks (1871) and The Other Girls (1873), at the request of her publishers. The four were issued as the Real Folks Series. Over ten thousand copies of this work were sold during the first season. Her later stories all dealt with some aspects of domestic life, for she believed that the home was the ideal center of a woman's activity. She disapproved of the suffrage movement and took no part in public affairs, except philanthropic enterprises. "My history, " she declared in an autobiographical note, "is simply that of my book-writing and the management of my household". Elm Corner in Milton and her summer home in Alstead, N. H. , formed the background of her life, although travel in Europe and a year's sojourn in the West supplied diversity of scene. She continued to write books and articles for periodicals all her life, her last volume, Biddy's Episodes (1904), appearing when she was eighty. Besides her stories for girls she published several collections of verse: Mother Goose for Grown Folks (1860); Pansies (1872); Holy-Tides (1886); Daffodils (1887); and White Memories (1893), a tribute to three friends, Phillips Brooks, John G. Whittier, and Lucy Larcom. Her books for girls dealt largely with New England scenes and characters. They contained many reflective passages, which gave dignity to the narratives and often lifted the material to a mature level.
