THE FOLIO BOOK OF HUMOROUS VERSE, brings together the some of the best comic verse on both sides of the Atlantic.
This special collection should appeal to a broad range of tastes from saucy limericks, to Lear's inspired silliness, the social satire of Nash and the cynical wisdom of Harry Graham to classic songs of the English music hall. And the wonderful full-colour illustrations of Posy Simmonds is the perfect companion!
