Mr. Lear: A Life Of Art And Nonsense by Jenny Uglow


An impressive biography that illuminates the complexity of a fascinating artist/poet/"traveloguer"/human being. I previously only knew Mr. Lear from his many witty limericks. The author reveals him vividly through his own writings and his many friendships with the aristocratic, artistic and movers and shakers" of the 19th century. Recommended!
