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.
