The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear

Amemorable version suitable for the youngest reader. Kirkus ReviewsThe Owl and the Pussy-cat went to seaIn a beautiful pea-green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five-pound note.


So begins the unlikely love story of a cat and bird, who sail away together and are married on a remote island, their officiant a turkey, and their wedding ring a piece of jewelry from a pig's snout. The story of this silly couple has become an enduring classic, and is more charming than ever in this gift edition, now part of the Folk Tale Classics series.

Edward Lear (1812-1888) was a British actor who lived from 1812 to 1888. He built a name for himself as an artist, humorist, and traveler as the youngest of twenty-one children.
