-The owls, hen, larks, and their nests in his beard, are among the fey, fauna and peculiar persons inhabiting the uniquely inspired nonsense rhymes and drawings of Lear (20th child of a London stockbroker), whose Book of Nonsense, first published in 1846, stands alone as the ultimate and most loved expression in English of freewheeling, benign, and unconstricted merriment.
- This book is in very good vintage condition with minor signs of wear on the cover consistent with use. The pages are clean and the volume is well intact.
