Lighten up your day with Edward Lear
Edward Lear's Complete Nonsense
This is a lovely Folio Society edition in a matching slipcase, introduced by Quentin Blake with illustrations by Edward Lear which have been specially hand-coloured for this 1996 issue.
There are nonsense songs, nonsense stories, nonsense pictures, nonsense rhymes, nonsense poems, nonsense lyrics and yet more nonsense.
There was an Old Man who when little
Fell casually into a kettle
But growing too stout
He could never get out
So he passed all his life in a kettle.
This would make a lovely present but would also just be nice to have around at home for a bit of light entertainment and reading out loud to your kids.
