The greatest classical author of nonsense, Lear produced a wealth of silly and humorous works that have amused children and adults alike for more than a century.

Contents include: 'Queery Leary Nonsense', 'Mrs. Blue Dickey-Bird', 'Drawings for Mother Goose', 'Illustrations for The Owl and the Pussy Cat', 'Foss', 'Ger-woman and Ger-man', 'At Dingle Bank', 'Spots of Greece', 'Epitaph', 'The Youthful Cove', 'The Book of Nonsense', 'There was an Old Man with a Nose', etcetera.
