Quel est le sujet du livre "Nonsense Alphabet"
From the mid-1840s onwards, the poet and painter Edward Lear made illustrated nonsense alphabets (also called "picture alphabets") as gifts for children of his acquaintance. Unfortunately, it is not known the name of the child or children for whom this alphabet was created. This volume is based on a poem by Edward Lear, published in 1877, that was illustrated and organized afterwards by Lica Sainciuc over a long period of 1978-1988-2008 into a book, in which the last also used old drawings by Edward Lear.
Auteurs :Edward Lear was a distinguished English artist, illustrator and writer known for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form which he popularized.
Beneath the absurd and playful imaginings of his poetry there lurks a melancholic streak that was to bedevil him throughout his extraordinarily creative and nomadic life.
