Excerpt: he inserted his head;-- His Shirt was made up of no end of dead Mice, The warmth of whose skins was quite fluffy and nice;-- His Drawers were of Rabbit-skins;--so were his Shoes;-- His Stockings were skins, --but it is not known whose;-- His Waistcoat and Trowsers were made of Pork Chops;-- His Buttons were Jujubes and Chocolate Drops;-- His Coat was all Pancakes, with Jam for a border, And a girdle of Biscuits to keep it in order; And he wore over all, as a screen from bad weather, A Cloak of green Cabbage-leaves stitched all together.

Renowned author Daniel Pinkwater and best-selling poet and artist Calef Brown team up to champion the ridiculous! These endlessly fascinating and imaginative poems are as fresh and delightful today as they were when Edward Lear wrote them more than a hundred years ago—from "The Owl and the Pussycat" to "The Pobble Who Has No Toes." This charming book proves that, sometimes, there's nothing children need more than a healthy dose of nonsense!

Every line of every nonsense book written by the celebrated humorist and author of "The Owl and the Pussycat." Illustrated by more than 500 of Lear's quirky drawings. Includes two selections from the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Very good copy in the original gilt-blocked cloth with bevelled boards. Raised and gilt-crossed bands. Spine bands and panel edges somewhat rubbed and dust-toned as with age. Remains quite well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong.

Lear's nonsense books were quite popular during his lifetime, but a rumor developed that "Edward Lear" was merely a pseudonym, and the books' true author was the man to whom Lear had dedicated the works, his patron the Earl of Derby. Promoters of this rumor offered as evidence the facts that both men were named Edward, and that "Lear" is an anagram of "Earl."The falls of the Kalama, Albania 1851Lear's nonsense works are distinguished by a facility of verbal invention and a poet's delight in the sounds of words, both real and imaginary. A stuffed rhinoceros becomes a "diaphanous doorscraper." A "blue Boss-Woss" plunges into "a perpendicular, spicular, orbicular, quadrangular, circular depth of soft mud.

Known as the father of the nonsense poem, Edward Lear is much to thank for the form's popularity. Gently mocking the ridiculousness of human behaviour and Victorian convention, Lear's deliciously silly verse has delighted children and adults for generations.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1846 edition. Excerpt: ...in the Marsica. My next destination was to Magliano, to the house of Don Giambattista (or, called for shortness, Don Tita, ) Masciarelli, one of the richest persons in the Abruzzi, to whom I had a letter of recommendation from M. le Chevalier Kestner.' Thither, accordingly, I went in his carriage, which had been sent to Tagliacozzo to bring back the youngest of his two sons, Don Gregorio, who had been present at the festa. Poor Don Gregorio Masciarelli is an intelligent young man, about twenty years of age, although so diminutive as to appear a boy of ten or twelve. Unable to move a step, having become lame from a fall during his infancy, he is always cheerful; and though outwardly deprived of pleasure, the balance of happiness may be id his favour in a capacity for self-improvement, and a variety of resources known to few of the more healthy: his days pass in reading, or quiet games, or in studying the flute, violin, and piano; and he is no contemptible performer in drawing. In the early mornings, or in the bright evenings of summer, he is seated on the bench before his wealthy father's Palazzo, conversing with the passing villagers: or he is carried hither and thither by an old domestic. Poor little fellow! with what glee he reverted to all the gaieties and fun of the past fete, and how he dwelt on all the best scraps of the Prima Donna's performances! ' The Hanoverian Minister in Rome. It would be diificult to mention the name of this excellent person without acknowledging the frequent kindnesses received from him during a long residence in the Roman States. We passed beneath Scurcola, as when K. and I were together; then, leaving the road to Avezzano, we soon arrived at Magliano, a most neat and thriving...

'The Owl and the Pussycat' is a well-beloved children's classic and a perfect example of Edward Lear's mastery of 'nonsense'. His works are distinguished by a poet's delight in the sounds of words both real and imaginary. His invented terms 'snail mail' and the infamous 'runcible spoon' (which appears in the Oxford English Dictionary) are hallmarks of a genre which has amused and delighted readers of all ages in a number of delightful publications over the years.This publication brings together his best-loved verse and drawings in a single volume, packed full of choice Leariana, including his exquisite illustrated nonsense alphabets and remarkable bird drawings executed with superb attention to anatomical detail and accompanied by scientific names of the species (The Stripy Bird), Nonsense botany, his famously incomprehensible but delightful limericks, and images of the irrepressible Foss in his heraldic poses (Foss dansant).Packaged as a gift book, this publication has a timeless appeal and is as suitable for children as it is for adults.

The Quangle Wangle thought he was isolated at the top of a tree but his hat attracted a wide range of visitors.

'Nonsense is the breath of my nostrils', wrote Edward Lear (1812-88), and this collection demonstrates the wonderfully varied ways in which he pursued his philosophy of life. He created an extraordinary world filled with bizarre creatures - from the Dong with a luminous nose to the Pobble who has no toes - who misbehave with joyful abandon. Here can be found such exuberant and timeless verse as 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat', 'The Quangle Wangle's Hat' and numerous comic limericks, along with stories, letters, alphabets and recipes, all accompanied throughout with his fantastical line drawings. Gently pointing out human follies and the absurdities of the conventional Victorian society in which he lived, Lear's nonsense has enchanted children and adults alike for generations.
