It's impossible to tell here, but the specific edition I'm reviewing is The Owl & the Pussy-Cat & Other Nonsense by Edward Lear, with illustrations by Owen Wood (1978, Viking Press). It includes eight short verses by Lear in addition to TO&tPC. Wood's intricate illustrations are gorgeous, and invite return visits, as I have done many a time over the years. This was one of the books that my parents kept on their shelves, and I'm glad they did - it survived where some of our other childhood books did not always.

Update: I have now read the edition with illustrations by Stéphane Jorisch. I don't find them as pretty in style as Wood's, but I appreciate the emotional contrast they provide to the lightness of the poem.
