Edward Lear 1812-1888 although being an artist and illustrator himself is remembered mostlhy today for his nonsensical works particularly his limericks. One of the most recognizable of these is "The Owl and the Pussycat" who "dined on mince and slices of quince which they ate with a runcible spoon."<br/><br/>"The Jumblies" was the first poem in Lear's "Book of Nonsense" published in 1846. Per the dust jacket flap Edward Gorey decided to illustrate this poem because it "was taught to me by my grandfather when I was four or five and it has always been one of my favourites."<br/><br/>Edward St. John Gorey 1925-2000 had a distinctive style evocative of a mystical gothic Victorian era and his vast body of work includes over one hundred books written by himself as well as those by many well-known authors such as T. S. Eliot Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll H. G. Wells and Virginia Woolf n. b. info from the Edward Gorey House website - and of course this work. Gorey dedicated the book "for Foss" Lear's cat who "died in 1886 and was buried with some ceremony in a garden at Villa Tennyson" n.b. quote from Wiki. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: In a reinforced library binding of tan cloth over boards Gorey illustration in black and white on the front board with decorative lettering black lettering on the spine illustrated title page with Gorey's signature above his printed name through which he drew a line per usual each stanze of the poem printed on the versos left-hand side with Gorey's corresponding illustration on the opposite page recto of the following page; oblong sixmo 6 1/8" tall and 9 1/8" wide unpaginated with 24 leaves including free endpapers.
