The Quangle Wangle's Hat

Edward Lear, Helen Oxenbury

The Quangle Wangle is lonely in the Crumpetty Tree, until a whole host of creatures come to live on his (very large) beaver hat.

 

The Owl and the Pussycat

Edward Lear, James Marshall

The Owl and the Pussycat of Lear’s ballad are truly made for each other, as depicted by James Marshall in these poignant, slaphappy illustrations. Only Marshall could have shown us the Owl serenading the pampered Pussycat on the deck of the S.S. Dorabella, or the Pussycat posing for travel photographs, or the happy couple’s goofy wedding dance “by the light of the moon.”

Here is a final gift from this greatly beloved creator of children’s books.
