About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Edward Lear's "Nonsense Books" isn't a single story, but a collection of poems, songs, and short stories, published in four volumes between 1846 and 1877. They're filled with whimsy and absurdity, featuring fantastical creatures like the Jumblies and the Pobble who has no toes. Lear himself illustrated these works, adding even more humor with his quirky drawings.
These nonsensical tales don't follow traditional storylines, but instead focus on playful language, silly situations, and wordplay. Through limericks, alphabets with nonsensical definitions, and outlandish stories, Lear encourages readers to embrace the joy of imagination and the beauty of the nonsensical.
