Описание:
Poetry fans with an aversion to sentimentality will revel in this collection of hilariously heartless vintage verse, typified by the above poem. Accompanied by clever black-and-white line drawings that perfectly capture the irreverent, curmudgeonly mood of the verse, these rare and hard-to-find examples of 19th-century black humor will delight readers with their inventive rhymes, macabre wit, and candid appeal to the heartless streak in human nature.
