<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The owls, hen, larks, and their nests in his beard, are among the fey fauna and peculiar persons inhabiting the uniquely inspired nonsense rhymes and drawings of Lear (20th child of a London stockbroker), whose Book of Nonsense, first published in 1846, stands alone as the ultimate and most loved expression in English of freewheeling, benign, and unconstricted merriment.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Edward Lear</b> (1812--1888) was an illustrator, natural history artist, and writer, though he is best known for his nonsense poems. His collection of poetry, <b>A BOOK OF NONSENSE</b>, was published in 1846 and helped to popularize the limerick, a humorous form of verse. His most famous poem, <b>THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT</b>, has been made into many picture books.
