Blurb
Ever Eaten Poodle Strudel? Slain a Jabberwock? Bathed in Irish Stew?
Quentin Blake's excellent selection of comical verse is pure entertainment for nonsense-lovers of all ages. His unique style of drawing brings a new perspective to every poem. Classic writers such as Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear are combined with more contemporary talents such as Roger McGough, Margaret Mahy and Russell Hoban. With fifteen wonderfully absurd sections, including Distracting Creatures and Chortling and Galumphing, can you make sense of so much delightful nonsense?
