There was an Old Man in a tree,Who was horribly bored by a Bee; When they said, "e;Does it buzz?"e; He replied, "e;Yes, it does!It’s a regular brute of a Bee."e;Generations of children and adults have delighted in the whimsical poems of Edward Lear (1812-88). And, despite his achievements as a noted English landscape painter and illustrator of animal life, Lear today is best known for his delightful volumes of nonsense verse. This work spanned several decades — from the first charming lines he wrote in the 1830s for the children of the Earl of Derby to his last collection of poems, published in 1877.This volume contains a rich sampling of Lear’s inspired nonsense, including more than 90 delightful limericks as well as a choice selection of longer poems along with the amusing illustrations he drew for each. Among these are such classics as "e;The Owl and the Pussy-cat,"e; and "e;The Jumblies"e; as well as a number of lesser-known but equally charming selections: "e;Calico Pie,"e; "e;The Duck and the Kangaroo,"e; "e;Incidents in the Life of My Uncle Arly,"e; "e;The Daddy Long-legs and the Fly,"e; "e;The Broom, the Shovel, The Poker, and the Tongs,"e; "e;Mr. and Mrs. Spikky Spider"e; and "e;The Courtship of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bó."e;
