About this book

Edward Lear's fourth book of nonsense, first published in 1877 after his Book of Nonsense and More Nonsense, mixes verses and songs with Nonsense Botany and two Nonsense Alphabets. Among the poems are The Dong with a Luminous Nose and The Pobble Who Has No Toes. In the first, a creature with a glowing nose roams the Gromboolian plain, pining for a Jumbly girl who sailed off in a sieve.
