The Nonsense Verse of Lewis Carroll (Bloomsbury Children's Classics) - Tapa dura

'A compendium of classic Carroll nonsense. The rich language and haunting rhythms work their magic, while Hussey's exquisite illustrations heighten the sense of absurdity' The Good Book Guide

'Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle -'. This is a beautifully illustrated edition of Lewis Carroll's nonsense verse: most people are familiar with the verse from Alice through the Looking-Glass, for example "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and also other classics such as "You are Old", "Father William" and "The Jabberwocky". These are of course all included, alongside some lesser-known poems that are a delight to discover, including "The Three Badgers", "The Mad Gardener's Song", and "The White Knight's Ballad". Fantastically detailed, jewel-like illustrations complement the delights of this most nonsensical verse. The perfect companion to "Bisky Bats and Pussy Cats" - the "Nonsense Verse of Edward Lear".
