    About this audiobook

    Edward Lear was the greatest nonsensicalist of all time. He was the inventor of the limerick and created the Jumblies and The Owl and the Pussycat. This complete edition of Lear's nonsense verse—including the limericks, longer verses, alphabets and his own illustrations—is lovingly restored and beautifully presented, for adults and children to enjoy together.
