The Complete Nonsense Books: De-luxe Edition

This collection contains all of Lears most celebrated verse and prose productions, from the 1846 volume of limericks, A Book of Nonsense, to his Nonsense Songs, which includes The Owl and the Pussy Cat, long considered one of the nations favourite poems, and lesser-known pieces composed in the same waywardly imaginative vein. Embodying his passion for nonsense, Lears limericks, stories, poems, alphabets and miscellaneous pieces, each accompanied by one of the authors beguiling original illustrations, are fun, lyrical, lively and hilarious, and have enchanted children and adults since their first appearance in print.
