Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Thus. This copy is in fine, unmarked condition bound in green cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The publisher price clipped dustwrapper is lightly sunned to the spine and is still in fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. In putting together these Learical Lyrics and Puffles of Prose (a booktitle which Lear himself thought of using) Brian Alderson has tried to show something of the range of bosh that Edward Lear actually produced.

The artist's gloomy experiences among mucilaginous monks in Athos, and burst water-pipes at Walton-on-Thames are recounted with the same strange blend of exhiliration and sensitivity that he brought to the conversation between Mr. Daddy-long-leds and Mr. Floppy Fly, or the adventures of aged Uncle Arly - clipfombious to the last degree.
