A few weeks ago Mr Nicholas Grindell contacted me about a chapbook he had published a few years back. It consists of a series of 108 limericks all beginning “There was an Old Man of Berlin” and is intended a tribute both to Edward Lear and the city Mr Grindell has been living in for over thirty years.
Unsurprisingly the title of the book is There Was an Old Man of Berlin and can be purchased from this page.
In the same e-mail Mr Grindell mentions something I had not noticed before: Lear’s own Man of Berlin
anticipates a scene from Wilhelm Busch’s Max und Moritz (1865), in which the two rascals end up in an oven, though this is not (yet) fatal to them:
The second picture in Busch’s story corresponds to the fate of Lear’s Old Man of Peru:

Hi, nice entry on man of Berlin! The link to the shop to buy the book is broken, the very last letter of the link, the letter n, was inadvertently left off. Please repost for other fans. Cheers – GTW
