What's as deliciously silly as Edward Lear's verse? Valorie Fisher's sly, imaginative illustrations, that's what! Using everything from etchings to ephemera to her own wildly patterned artwork, Fisher re-creates Lear's world—where people waltz with flies, ride geese out to sea, and build balloons to examine the moon—in a fresh and ever-so-fanciful way.

Edward Lear was a distinguished English artist, illustrator and writer known for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form which he popularized. Beneath the absurd and playful imaginings of his poetry there lurks a melancholic streak that was to bedevil him throughout his extraordinarily creative and nomadic life.
