PUBLISHERS' PREFACE.

The almost general desire to have The Owl and The Pussy-cat, The Duck and The Kangaroo, in a distinct form from Mr. Lear's other Nonsense Drolleries, has induced us to issue them separately with Original Illustrations.

Not the best nonsense

But as nonsense goes, not too bad. And little, which is good if the nonsense is below par.
And, a final closing two words - one, two.

เป็นบทกวีประกอบภาพวาด ที่จะบอกว่าไร้สาระเช่นเดียวกับชื่อเรื่องนั่นล่ะ

60+ years of memories

Still remember the words, still wonderful, when I was little, the Owl and the Pussycat was real to me, as it should have been.

Nursery Rhymes

Two very cute and short nursery rhymes / poems that made me reminisce of my childhood imagination and simpler times

Fun poems. I may one day have the whole of "The Owl and The Pussycat" memorised

Good.

Just two poems, perfect for what i wanted. I only wanted to read the owl and pussycat as my other half was aghast when I said I had not done so. I do like nonsense rhyme and am surprised I have not come across Lear before. I will be looking for a more comprehensive collection.
