Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nonsense Songs In issuing this new edition of the "Nonsense Songs" the Publishers desire to say that, feeling Mr. Lear had, contrary to his usual custom, presented these songs to the public illustrated in the slightest manner only, they have, with the assistance of Mr. L. Leslie Brooke, endeavoured to create a wider interest in verses which for so many years have given unwonted pleasure to thousands of readers. A generation has already passed since these songs were penned, but their humour is of the kind that does not evaporate after a few years, and they are as fresh to-day as when first published. In the "Introduction," written by him for the Ninth Edition of "Nonsense Songs and Stories," Sir Edward Strachey asks, "What is Nonsense?" and after declaring that "Nonsense... has shown itself to be a true work of the imagination, a child of genius, and its writing one of the fine arts," he goes on to say that - "From the days when Aristotle Investigated the philosophy of laughter, and Aristophanes gave laughter its fullest - I might say its maddest - expression on the stage at Athens, down to this week's issue of Punch, Nonsense has asserted and made good its claim to a place among the Arts. It has indeed pressed each of them in turn into its service. Nonsense has found the highest expression of itself in music, painting, sculpture, and every form of poetry and prose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jumblies, and Other Nonsense Verses After many years of publication of the famous Nonsense Songs by Edward Lear which were originally illustrated by the Author himself, it was felt by the publishers that Mr. Lear had, contrary to his usual custom, presented these songs illustrated in the slightest manner only. Mr. L. Leslie Brooke therefore endeavoured to create a further and wider interest in the verses by his own interpretation of them, with many line drawings and colour plates. The unwonted pleasure the verses have given to thousands of readers will, it is felt, be fully maintained in this further edition with Mr. L. Leslie Brooke's illustrations.

Download or read book Nonsense Books Classic Reprint written by Edward Lear and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nonsense Books Perhaps the best monument to the memory of Edward Lear is to be found in the merry laughter which his works and drawings have excited amongst children whom he loved so well. He lives, and will continue to live, in the minds of the public as one of the great classical authors of nonsense. It is said that Dickens was wont to peruse carefully the records of births, deaths and marriages, in order to find names suitable to the characters in his novels. That he was singularly successful in the assortment of his names cannot be doubted. Although it would perhaps be difficult to assign any good reason for our opinion, we all feel that the character of the immortal Winkle could not, with any degree of onomatop ic propriety, have been assigned to a man who spoke and conducted himself like Tupman, and that Mr. and Mrs. Murdstone would have behaved quite differently if their names had been Trotwood. Who, again - to put some extreme cases - would suggest that the names of Micawber and Heep, of Pecksniff and Tapley, or of Chadband and Bucket could be transposed without wholly altering the impression of the characters which we derive from the nomenclature? Similarly, the genius of the great nonsense authors - Lear and Lewis Caroll - is shown in their choice of nonsense words. Who can describe a "Scroobious," or "Runcible" bird? Yet the man who does not at once grasp the fact that the outward appearance and special characteristics of these two birds must of necessity differ widely, will be wholly wanting in imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rocky Road to Dublin As singer, as composer, and as his own accompanist, he was known only to a few hundreds in a few cities East and West, but by those hundreds he will be remembered longer than many a great artist whose grave is sur mounted by a towering monument of marble. With a voice of no intrinsic beauty he had the power to make the speech of his songs music, and the songs themselves something altogether rare and lovely. A sense of humor is perhaps a dangerous gift to a singer unless he uses it discreetly - a so-called comic song being frequently the lowest form of art; but Tom Dobson's sense of humor was of an exclusive sort that belonged to him alone. One could laugh again and again at his perfectly irresistible musical (and always musicianly) pranks! There was the most delicious humor in his face, in his voice, in his fingers; indeed, his very body was eloquent with mischief when he sang certain songs of his own making. One laughed at him, and with him, wholeheartedly; but in another instant one found that all this nonsense was but the upper current of a deeper sea. A few chords, a change of theme and he made mirth seem cheap and obvious, while he touched the hearts of his hearers and made their eyes moist with unshed tears.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the summer of 1960 in Atkinson, Vermont. Maria Fermoyle is a strong but vulnerable divorced woman whose loneliness and ambition for her children make her easy prey for dangerous con man Omar Duvall. Marie's children are Alice, seventeen—involved with a young priest; Norm, sixteen—hotheaded and idealistic; and Benny, twelve—isolated and misunderstood, and so desperate for his mother's happiness that he hides the deadly truth he knows about Duvall. We also meet Sam Fermoyle, the children's alcoholic father; Sam's brother-in-law, who makes anonymous "love" calls from the bathroom of his failing appliance store; and the Klubock family, who—in contrast to the Fermoyles—live an orderly life in the house next door. Songs in Ordinary Time is a masterful epic of the everyday, illuminating the kaleidoscope of lives that tell the compelling story of this unforgettably family.
