Pelican Chorus and Other Nonse by Edward Lear

Pelican Chorus and Other Nonse by Edward Lear

The incomparable Fred Marcellino brings a decidedly droll vision to three of Edward Lear's classic tales in this three-in-one collection.

With light-hearted, lavish illustrations, Caldecott Honoree Fred Marcellino makes the most--and more--of the fantasy and farce to a trio of Lear's best tales: The New Vestments, The Pelican Chorus, and The Owl and the Pussycat. Three splendid picture books in one

Edward Lear (1812--1888) was an illustrator, natural history artist, and writer, though he is best known for his nonsense poems. His collection of poetry, A BOOK OF NONSENSE, was published in 1846 and helped to popularize the limerick, a humorous form of verse. His most famous poem, THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT, has been made into many picture books -- including one published by Candlewick Press that was illustrated by Louise Voce.
Louise Voce has done illustrations for magazines, newspapers, greeting cards, and books for children, including WHAT NEWT COULD DO FOR TURTLE by Jonathan London and OVER IN THE MEADOW. She is also one of the illustrators for Candlewick's A COLLECTION OF RUDYARD KIPLING'S JUST SO STORIES. Louise Voce lives in Brighton, England.
