Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I like nonsense because sometimes it makes sense. I think the best thing about this book is they kept Mr. Lear's illustrations. My favorite poem is still Owl and the Pussycat, but found some others I liked too. I hope you like limericks because this book has a ton of limericks...maybe too many. I think fans of Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll would love this book too. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Edward Lear was the greatest nonsensicalist of all time. He was the inventor of the limerick and created the Jumblies and The Owl and the Pussycat. This complete edition of Lear's nonsense verse - including the limericks, longer verses, alphabets and his own illustrations - is lovingly restored and beautifully presented, for adults and children to enjoy together.
