Media Reviews
The reissue of this beautiful book is a bicentennial tribute to Edward Lear. All the best known verses, such as The Owl and the Pussy Cat , The Jumblies and The Dong with the Luminous Nose , are included, but there are also less familiar but equally captivating poems as well as hundreds of pithy limericks. The result is a fantasy feast, the absurdity of which John Vernon Lord captures perfectly in his detailed and literate illustrations -- Julia Eccleshare * The Guardian *
