DESCRIPTION:
Hilarious! I really enjoyed reading these poems. Lear is the master of his domain and his silly poems are always funny.This is an anthology of poems, of different lengths. Lear's style can make even the most serious adult burst with laughter. I was stifling my laughs in the library. I think you're never too old for funny poems such as these, and reading books like this can be cathartic during stressful times.Read these poems to everyone you know.
This collection contains nearly all the nonsense verse of Edward Lear, including the longer poems such as "The Owl and the Pussycat, "The Dong with the Luminous Nose" and "The Jumblies", and 236 limericks. John Vernon Lord spent three years illustrating every page of the book and has also written an introduction which provides a biography and critical background to Lear's work.
