What Our Customers Say...
Description

Illustrated throughout with monochrome vignettes by Edward Lear.
Edward Lear was an English artist, illustrator, author and poet, known for popularising the genre of literary nonsense. Lear wrote and illustrated a wide range of poems, songs and short stories, many of which conform to his nonsense style that gained him notoriety. This work encapsulates his humour and nonsensical style through a series of charming limericks and their accompanying illustrations.
