Book description
"The selected limericks include many clever and witty examples. . . . I enjoyed reading this collection tremendously. . . . Most were clever and fun. If you're a fan of the form, this book is definitely worth reading. And it's part of the Dover Thrift Edition collection, so no doubt you can pick it up for a song." -- The Introverted Yogi "An educational and useful ode to the perennial humble limerick. . . . This is not just a great anthology of limericks by famous poets. It's also a well written introduction and deconstruction of the form; explaining the form and function of the stanzas, each line, and some background history. I have been a lifelong lover of the lowly limerick and enjoyed this collection very much." -- Nonstop Reader "Who the heck needs an anthology of limericks anyway? Countless millions have been written since Hickory Dickory appeared in 1744, swiftly followed by his siblings the various Old Men and Young Women of every town in the land. So THE anthology would likely require a fork lift truck to place it upon our bedside tables. But wait 'Anthology' to the Greeks meant a collection of flowers ... and in this slim volume, 'tis only the sweetest of blooms that have been cut and arranged for our pleasure." -- Doug Harris, the world's leading collector of limerick books
