Edward Lear: The Life of a Wanderer

London: Collins, 1968.  

First UK printing


The twentieth of twenty-one siblings and prone to continual attacks of epilepsy, Lear nevertheless managed to lead a life of amazing success, despite recurring melancholy. 


He shone as a renowned illustrator and compulsive traveller, a prolific and talented landscape painter, a nonsense writer of genius and perhaps above all, as a beloved friend to his many famous contemporaries. 


Very Good in very good dust-jacket.


Hardcover.
