This collection contains nearly all the nonsense verse of Edward Lear, including the longer poems such as "The Owl and the Pussycat, "The Dong with the Luminous Nose" and "The Jumblies", and 236 limericks. John Vernon Lord spent three years illustrating every page of the book and has also written an introduction which provides a biography and critical background to Lear's work.
