AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Mary Jane, the maid whose nose was plucked by the blackbird, seeks the help of the King and Queen. Queen Marilyn is greedy and unkind. King Geoffrey is jolly and unhelpful. On her way to the rye paddock in search of her nose, Mary Jane stops to help an injured blackbird who offers the assistance of his friend, Maurice Magpie. Everyone is rewarded for their good deeds. The nose is found, Mary Jane pops it back on her face, and Maurice flies to the top branch of a high tree and carolls a happy song.
