A sparkling and beautifully illustrated edition of one of the most famous and
best-loved nonsense rhymes of all. The Owl and the Pussycat is perhaps the most
popular of Edward Lears classic nonsense verses. Generations of children and
adults have delighted in the epic sea voyage of these two courteous lovers and
their eventual marriage on the island of the bong tree; in the piggy-wig and
his ring, the turkey vicar and the wedding feast eaten with runcible spoons.
There have been several illustrated versions of the poem, but few have caught
so perfectly the silliness and spirit of the master of nonsense. Louise Voces
ebullient pictures are filled with an infectious vitality and reveal an eye for
the absurd that is a joy to behold.
