Description:The name of Edward Lear, as a nonsense writer, is known wherever the English language is spoken; his Limericks have had countless imitators, and tens of thousands of children have delighted in The Owl and the Pussycat, The Dong with the Luminous Nose, and his other nonsense rhymes.But how many people know anything of the life of this lonely, melancholy man, a traveller in many lands, a landscape-painter whose water-colours, worthy descendants of the great tradition of Turner and De Wint, are only now beginning to obtain the recognition they deserve? This is the only biography of Lear that has appeared; and, apart from his own interesting but little-known travel-journals and two volumes of his letters, very little has been generally known about him.The author of this book has had access to a great quantity of important unpublished material, including Lear's letters to his sister Ann and other family papers, his diaries, his correspondence with Lord and Lady Tennyson, Holman Hunt, and others.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
