The Nonsense Verse of Lewis Carroll - Hardcover
'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".

From the Publisher:
“‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said, / ‘To talk of many things: / Of shoes—and ships—and sealing wax— / Of cabbages—and kings— / And why the sea is boiling hot— / And whether pigs have wings.’” Turn the pages and delight once again in the timeless verse of Lewis Carroll. Familiar favorites like “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” “Jabberwocky,” and “Father William” are all here, and who can resist another visit? Lorna Hussey’s gorgeous illustrations dazzle the eye, bringing to life a world that’s gone wonderfully askew.
