    About this ebook

    The Jumblies and Other Nonsense Verses by Edward Lear is a collection of nonsense poems about little gremlins called the Jumblies. Excerpt: "HEY went to sea in a Sieve, they did, In a Sieve, they went to sea: In spite of all their friends could say, On a winter's morn, on a stormy day, In a Sieve, they went to sea! And when the Sieve turned round and round, And everyone cried, "You'll all be drowned!" They cried aloud, "Our Sieve ain't big, But we don't care a button, we don't care a fig! In a Sieve, we'll go to sea!" 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."

      It had been 31 years since last I’d stood on Vleesbaai beach. Now I was back to explore this coast for our December issue (page 76). There were many more houses but the peninsula, bending south-east to Fransmanshoek, was as beautiful as I remembered

      INTRODUCTORY.

      Table of Contents

      Encouraged by the cordial reception extended by Press and Public to their issue of the Pelican Chorus and Other Nonsense Verses by Edward Lear, newly illustrated, the Publishers have requested the Artist, Mr. L. Leslie Brooke, to do a similar service for a further selection from Lear’s Nonsense Songs, thus practically completing them. In addition to The Jumblies, which has been adopted as the titular piece, this volume includes such prime favourites as The Owl and the Pussy Cat, The Duck and the Kangaroo, and The Dong with a Luminous Nose. For the benefit of those whose memories of the Nonsense Songs are not as fresh as they should be, it may be repeated that Mr. Lear did not illustrate them as fully as was his custom; some,
