No post today, but you’ll be able to read several special limericks starting tomorrow and for a whole week, while I’ll be having a good time in England.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to check the Bicentenary Events page, which has now grown to alarming proportions, and to follow the day-to-day posting of Edward Lear’s Diaries on the new site.

Mark Norris, of the Newquay Zoo, sent me this photo, showing the Master of Nonsense in his new life as a guide on the Edward Lear Track at Knowsley Safari Park.
