Synopsis

It's impossible not to love Edward Gorey's interpretation of the wee Jumblies, exquisitely rendered in his signature pen-and-ink crosshatching. His twenty pristine drawings combined with Edward Lear's fanciful verse make The Jumblies a perfect delight, and one to revisit, again and again.

About this title

Review:

"* 'A stylish and witty draughtsman who enhances his illustrations with admirably chosen colour' Junior Bookshelf for The Owl and The Pussycat

From the Back Cover:

Far and few,far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live...

Join the colourful and adventurous Jumblies as they set sail on a stormy day in, of all things, a sieve! With a pea-green sail and a tobacco-pipe mast, they travel to distant, mysterious lands and the hills of the Chankly Bore!

Coupled with Ian Beck's vibrant and atmospheric illustrations, this exuberant and much-loved Edward Lear rhyme is given a new lease of life, and is guaranteed to delight children for many years to come.
