About the Book

The Owl and the Pussycat of Lear’s ballad are truly made for each other, as depicted by James Marshall in these poignant, slaphappy illustrations. Only Marshall could have shown us the Owl serenading the pampered Pussycat on the deck of the S.S. Dorabella, or the Pussycat posing for travel photographs, or the happy couple’s goofy wedding dance “by the light of the moon.”

Here is a final gift from this greatly beloved creator of children’s books.

Edward Lear

Biography

Edward Lear (1812-1888) was an author and illustrator who popularized limericks and is perhaps best known for his poem “The Owl and the Pussycat.”

James Marshall

Biography

James Marshall, one of our most beloved creators of children’s books, died on October 13, 1992, three days after his fiftieth birthday. As Anita Silvey says in Children’s Books and Their Creators: “The Marshall canon of characters is legendary: Viola Swamp, George, Martha, the Stupids, Emily Pig, Fox, the Cut-Ups…In the latter part of the twentieth century, there have been many fine practitioners of the art of the picture book, but Marshall was one of the finest. His books are classics that will endure.”
