Edward Lear & Daniel Pinkwater 
His Shoes Were Far Too Tight 
Poems by Edward Lear

A collection of Edward Lear’s classic “sumptuously silly verse” with fittingly witty new artwork to delight nonsense lovers of all ages (Publishers Weekly).   Celebrate the joy of ridiculousness with these endlessly fascinating and imaginative poems, as fresh and delightful today as they were when Edward Lear wrote them more than a hundred years ago—from “The Owl and the Pussycat” to “The Pobble Who Has No Toes.” With an introduction from renowned author Daniel Pinkwater and whimsical artwork by Calef Brown, this charming book proves that, sometimes, there’s nothing children need more than a healthy dose of nonsense!
