    With numerous monochrome vignette illustrations accompanying the text. 

    A delightful illustrated book of verse for children by the celebrated nonsense poet Edward Lear, who is most famous for having popularised the limerick. This collection is comprised of various 'Nonsense Songs' and two 'Nonsense Stories', and includes favourites such as 'The Owl and the Pussycat', 'The Daddy Long-Legs and the Fly', 'The Jumblies', and 'The History of the Seven Families'.

    Condition

    Full bound in the original publisher's pictorial cloth. Externally, attractive with marginal rubbing, heaviest to the spine, and a few minor handling marks. Slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine and the extremities which has resulted in some splitting to and loss of the cloth, as well as to the board beneath. Internally, binding is strained. Pages are generally bright and clean barring mild age spotting, slightly heavier to the outer leaves.
