I'm a huge fan of literary nonsense and absurd in poetry and prose so it was obvious that I will love Edward Lear too, and especially his limericks, a form he popularised. This volume, illustrated by the author contains his most popular poems and songs.

Like this

I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

Fun, but not quite as clever as I rememberd!

NONSENSE!!

trying to make a SENSE out of this book is NONSENSE !!!
:) at first, I tried, but that definitely doesn't make a sense no matter how much I tried to!
I really enjoyed the nonsense in this book thought its really nonsense!

recommended strongly! O)
