Excerpt from Nonsense SongsT is believed that all save the youngest readers of these Nonsense Books will be interested in the two following autobiographical letters by the author, which have only recently been published. The first written over half a century back just before one of his journeys in search of the picturesque, is a strict recital of date and fact; the second, composed some years later, and after he had set up his residence at San Remo, was written for a young lady of his acquaintance, who had quoted to him the words of a young lady not of his acquaintance, which form the refrain of the verses How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
