Excerpt from The Jumblies, and Other Nonsense Verses

After many years of publication of the famous Nonsense Songs by Edward Lear which were originally illustrated by the Author himself, it was felt by the publishers that Mr. Lear had, contrary to his usual custom, presented these songs illustrated in the slightest manner only. Mr. L. Leslie Brooke therefore endeavoured to create a further and wider interest in the verses by his own interpretation of them, with many line drawings and colour plates.

The unwonted pleasure the verses have given to thousands of readers will, it is felt, be fully maintained in this further edition with Mr. L. Leslie Brooke's illustrations.

Excerpt from The Jumblies, and Other Nonsense Verses

In a Sieve they sailed so fast, With only a beautiful pea-green veil Tied with a riband, by way of a sail, To a small tobacco - pipe mast; And every one said, who saw them go, 0 won't they be soon upset, you know! For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long, And happen what may, it's extremely wrong In a Sieve to sail so fast! Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
