Don't be scared off by word "children's"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Even though this is part of the Dover Children's Thrift Classics series, this volume of poetry can be equally enjoyable for older folks. Hey, even a college student like me can enjoy verses like, "There was an Old Man of Three Bridges,/Whose mind was distracted by midges;/He sate on a wheel, eating underdone veal,/Which relieved that Old Man of Three Bridges." The illustrations accompanying each poem add to the bright, innocent humor that Lear excelled at writing.
