Review Summary: Funniest Thing I Ever Read!
Review: More than 450 poems ranging from the 17th century to the present; emphasis on the present. Over a third of the poems have never before appeared in any anthology. This is the only big illustrated book of light verse, and the illustrations are delectable. Some are by the poets themselves; Lear, Bab Gilbert, Oliver Herford, G K Chesterton, Nicholas Bentley, and Walt Kelly. The Great masters are here too; Ring Lardner and Mark Twain; Nabokov, Houseman, Wodehouse, Lewis Carroll, Ed Lear, Ogden Nash, Morris Bishop, John Updike, A B Frost, and so many more. This one outclasses every other anthology of its kind in (or out of) print!
