Mr. Lear : a life of art and nonsense
Jenny Uglow (Author)
"Edward Lear, the renowned English artist, musician, author, and poet, lived a vivid, fascinating life, but confessed, 'I hardly enjoy any one thing on earth while it is present' ... Lear was a man of great simplicity and charm--children adored him--yet his humor masked epilepsy, depression, and loneliness. [The author's] beautifully illustrated biography, full of the color of the age, brings us his swooping moods, passionate friendships, and restless travels"--Amazon.com
