Lear, Edward

Here are two poems by Edward Lear, a funny man so I hear. One's about a toeless Pobble...and then, there's Quangle Wangle Quee who lived in the very green Crumpetty Tree--Publisher's note.

The grand King and Queen of the Pelicans live a joyous life on the banks of the Nile.

Twenty-one limericks selected for special appeal to young people, one large full-page illustration to a verse. "How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!/ Who has written such volumes of stuff/ Some think him ill-tempered and queer,/ But a few think him pleasant enough.".

Nineteen nonsense verses taken from the author's Book of nonsense. This volume includes the poems from Jumblies and other nonsense verses, Pelican chorus, and other nonsense verses published separately--H.W. Wilson.
