Pages : 258
Book Description
This hilariously readable collection of classic nonsense poetry, delightfully illustrated throughout, is a showcase of comic talent and sheer silliness. The Everyman Book of Nonsense Verse features an eclectic spectrum of contributors ranging wildly from Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll to Hilaire Belloc, Ted Hughes, Ogden Nash, and Shakespeare, with illustrations by Mervyn Peake, Quentin Blake, Emma Chichester Clark, Spike Milligan, and the deliciously sinister Edward Gorey. Such old favorites as “The Owl and the Pussycat” are accompanied by “Macavity: The Mystery Cat” and “Jabberwocky,” while Ted Hughes’s “Wodwo” sits alone by the bank of a stream in a state of innocence and curiosity that mirrors a child’s sense of wonder at the universe. Whether sweetly funny or deliciously naughty, these masterpieces of the art of the absurd will charm readers both young and old.

Book Description
Dear reader, please take time to note Two ways to read this book I wrote. The first way is for everyone, Just read the book, enjoy the fun. The second way will challenge those Who like to look beyond the prose. Who'd like to ACT just like a 'cat' (And that's an anagram, in fact). Join in the fun with a host of quirky animals, and find out why a bear doesn't want to be bare, a seal goes to a sale, and a dingo is doing a dance.
