- """Children swarmed to him like settlers. He became a land."" W.H. AudenEdward Lear - beloved nonsense poet, author of such adored poems as The Owl and the Pussycat, inventor of otherworldly characters like Quangle-Wangles and of the modern limerick; lauded artist and illustrator - was a genius who defies classification. Gregarious and popular, Lear had a wide circle of friends, but was often lonely and subject to frequent bouts of depression and debilitating epilepsy, the shame of which he struggled with all his life. In this captivating biography, fellow poet Peter Levi renders descriptions."@en
- "Edward Lear was an English eccentric and an admirable poet whose nonsense verse has endeared him to generations of Americans. He was also a brilliant watercolorist and an intrepid traveler. To this lively study of the life and work of one of the most eminent Victorians, the distinguished biographer Peter Levi brings poetic sensitivity and wide-ranging erudition."@en
