Product Information
"Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve." Born in Highgate, London, in 1812, Edward Lear was the creator of nonsense verse, as well as an acclaimed painter and an avid traveller. Among his most famous works are the Book of Nonsense and The Owl and the Pussycat, the first of his nonsense songs, written in 1867. His humour has proved timeless, and many readers will remember reading his poems as children.
