Edward Lear's Complete Nonsense: Folio Society Edition
It has been over a hundred years since Edward Lear, the advocate of illogic, first became known to a wide public. Children who begged to have his verses read to them have grown up to read Lear to their own children, and to discover that his whimsy, imagination, and originality have their attraction for the adult mind as well.
In Edward Lear's Complete Nonsense readers will find a host of balderdash to enjoy through Lear's short stories, poems (particularly limericks), and his original and delightful illustrations.
