Nonsense! Book 1 (23)
Although he may have wished to be remembered as a more serious writer, the 19th-century English poet Edward Lear left an important legacy of limericks to the canon of nonsense verse. One of Lears most famous five-line poems, "There was an Old Man with a beard," here receives full illustrative treatment from Swiss-American artist Etienne Delessert, whose work celebrates and seeks to expand the imaginative capacities of children. Intended to set the stage for a forthcoming series of standalone poems, Nonsense! Book One will whet young readers appetites for further adventures in rhyme.
