by William S. Baring Gould
illustrated/decorations by Andre Domin, Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Lear
hardcover in good used condition
The Lure of the Limerick: An Uninhibited History with Over 500 Examples by William S. Baring-Gould is a delightful exploration of the limerick as a unique and often bawdy form of verse. The book traces the origins and development of the limerick, examining its cultural and literary significance while reveling in its playful and irreverent nature. Baring-Gould, a scholar and writer, approaches the subject with humor and thoroughness, offering readers a rich anthology of over 500 limericks that range from the classic to the ribald. The book is enhanced by illustrations and decorations from renowned artists such as André Domin, Aubrey Beardsley, and Edward Lear—the latter being one of the most famous creators of limericks.
