Hardcover. Condition: Fine. New Edition. GIFT QUALITY 1984 hardcover. No dust jacket, as issued. UNREAD COPY with old-fashioned decorated maroon cloth cover. Bright and clean inside and out with sharp edges and corners. Very nice copy! This is a facsimile reprint of the 1894 Frederick Warne original. Delightful book of Edward Lear's classic nonsense verse for all ages, illustrated, and with introduction, by Sir Edward Strachey. "A handsome reprint anthology of Edward Lear's Victorian nonsense verse and prose, drawn principally from his Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets (1871) and its companion volumes. The collection gathers Lear's most enduring pieces ? "The Owl and the Pussycat," "The Jumblies," "The Dong with a Luminous Nose," "Calico Pie," "The Pobble Who Has No Toes," "The Quangle Wangle's Hat" ? alongside the absurd "Nonsense Botany" plates, the four "Histories" of the Little Children Who Went Round the World, and several illustrated alphabets. Lear's own pen-and-ink drawings run throughout. His tone is the distinctive Lear blend: melancholy yet absurd, deeply musical, populated by invented words ("runcible," "scroobious," "borascible") that have since slipped into English. He effectively founded the English nonsense tradition that runs through Lewis Carroll to Spike Milligan and Edward Gorey. The Chancellor Press edition is a gift-style hardcover that served as an accessible, well-illustrated introduction to Lear for a generation of British readers.".

Spanning a period of over two decades, the letters reveal Lear's eccentric personality, his deep affection for his friends and family, and his profound love of nature. As a pioneer of the nonsense genre, Lear's letters are replete with whimsical observations and delightful wordplay. His travels to exotic locales such as India, Egypt, and Greece provided ample inspiration for his artistic endeavors, which are discussed in detail throughout the correspondence. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Lear's letters touch upon a wide range of topics, including his struggles with mental health and the challenges of navigating the Victorian art world. Beyond their intrinsic charm, Lear's letters also shed light on the social and cultural milieu of the Victorian era. They offer insights into the lives of other notable figures of the time, including Tennyson, Ruskin, and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Lear's candid and often humorous reflections on his contemporaries paint a vivid portrait of an extraordinary period in British history. Through its rich tapestry of personal anecdotes, artistic reflections, and social commentary, this book provides a compelling introduction to one of the most original and endearing figures of the Victorian era.
