John Vernon Lord (Illustrator)
John Vernon Lord is an award-winning author-illustrator who has
been working for nearly 50 years. He has illustrated many classic
texts by Aesop, Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, as well as his own
stories, and he was also a distinguished lecturer and teacher of
illustration for 45 years until his retirement.
The reissue of this beautiful book is a bicentennial tribute to
Edward Lear. All the best known verses, such as "The Owl and the
Pussy Cat", "The Jumblies" and "The Dong with the Luminous Nose",
are included, but there are also less familiar but equally
captivating poems as well as hundreds of pithy limericks. The
result is a fantasy feast, the absurdity of which John Vernon Lord
captures perfectly in his detailed and literate illustrations
