Little Miss Muffet Figurine The origin of “Little Miss Muffet” is most commonly attributed to Dr. Thomas Muffet, a notorious physician and entomologist from the 16th century, the author of a scientific illustrated guide about insects. “Little Miss Muffet” is about a girl named Patience, who was Dr Muffet's stepdaughter. Mother Goose, a famous imaginary author of French fairy tales and nursery rhymes, wrote the famous nursery rhyme. It was first published in 1805. The poem is about a little girl who is afraid of spiders.
