Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. New Edition. GIFT QUALITY 1984 hardcover. No dust jacket, as issued. UNREAD COPY with old-fashioned decorated maroon cloth cover. Bright and clean inside and out with sharp edges and corners. Very nice copy! This is a facsimile reprint of the 1894 Frederick Warne original. Delightful book of Edward Lear's classic nonsense verse for all ages, illustrated, and with introduction, by Sir Edward Strachey. "A handsome reprint anthology of Edward Lear's Victorian nonsense verse and prose, drawn principally from his Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets (1871) and its companion volumes. The collection gathers Lear's most enduring pieces ? "The Owl and the Pussycat," "The Jumblies," "The Dong with a Luminous Nose," "Calico Pie," "The Pobble Who Has No Toes," "The Quangle Wangle's Hat" ? alongside the absurd "Nonsense Botany" plates, the four "Histories" of the Little Children Who Went Round the World, and several illustrated alphabets. Lear's own pen-and-ink drawings run throughout. His tone is the distinctive Lear blend: melancholy yet absurd, deeply musical, populated by invented words ("runcible," "scroobious," "borascible") that have since slipped into English. He effectively founded the English nonsense tradition that runs through Lewis Carroll to Spike Milligan and Edward Gorey. The Chancellor Press edition is a gift-style hardcover that served as an accessible, well-illustrated introduction to Lear for a generation of British readers.".
