The Book Of Nonsense

The Book of Nonsense is a collection of humorous poems and limericks written by Edward Lear in the mid-19th century. The book contains over 100 short poems that are full of absurdities, puns, and wordplay. The verses are often nonsensical and feature made-up words and creatures, such as the Jumblies, the Quangle Wangle, and the Pobble who has no toes. The illustrations that accompany the poems are also whimsical and surreal, adding to the overall sense of playfulness and silliness. The Book of Nonsense has become a classic of children’s literature and is still beloved by readers of all ages for its irreverent humor and imaginative language.There was an Old Person of Leeds, Whose head was infested with beads; She sat on a stool, And ate gooseberry fool, Which agreed with that person of Leeds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
