No children’s library is complete without this beautiful, illustrated edition of Edward Lear’s classic book of hilarious light verse.
The owls, hen, larks, and their nests in the Old Man’s beard are among the fey fauna and peculiar persons inhabiting the uniquely inspired nonsense rhymes and drawings of Edward Lear in A Book of Nonsense. The limericks in A Book of Nonsense stand out as among the most popular, humorous, and important examples of the form.
