The Book Of Nonsense

The Book of Nonsense: To Which Is Added More Nonsense is a collection of humorous poems and limericks written by Edward Lear and originally published in 1846. The book is filled with nonsensical verses and illustrations, featuring characters such as the Jumblies, the Pobble who has no toes, and the Owl and the Pussy-Cat. The poems are known for their playful use of language, made-up words, and absurd scenarios. The 1902 edition of the book includes additional nonsense verses not found in the original publication. The Book of Nonsense has since become a beloved classic of children's literature and is often cited as a significant influence on the genre of nonsense poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
