An illustrated collection of nonsense verse by Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, including "The Mock Turtle's Song," "Jabberwocky," "The Jumblies," and "The Dong with a Luminous Nose."
Two children embark on an adventure through imagination when they dress up as an owl and a cat and pretend to sail around the world, meeting all sorts of animals and seeing all sorts of strange sights.
"The Owl and the pussy-cat sailed away in a beautiful blue balloon. They took some jam, and a honey-roast ham, which they ate with their runcible spoon."--Back cover.
Captivated by Edward Lear's poem, a boy and girl turn into the owl and the pussycat and set sail in a pea green boat for The Land Where the Bong Tree Grows.
