Edward Lear, 2024
This volume gathers the four "nonsense" books published by Edward Lear during his life. It contains his most recognized verse and prose, from the initial limerick collection, A Book of Nonsense, to Nonsense Songs and Stories. This latter work includes 'The Owl and the Pussy Cat,' a poem long considered a national favorite, alongside many less familiar pieces written in a similarly imaginative style. Lear's limericks, stories, alphabets, and botanical sketches, each accompanied by his original illustrations, embody a passion for the absurd. These works have delighted readers since their initial publication.
