Ever keeping his weary eyes on
That pea-green sail on the far horizon,
Singing the Jumbly Chorus still
As he sate all day on the grassy hill,
"Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and the hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a sieve."
- Edward Lear, "The Dong with a Luminous Nose"
🎨 Leonard Brooke

The Quangle Wangle is the star of an Edward Lear poem, a sad figure who lives by himself with a hat that's 102 feet wide. Eventually, his loneliness ends as various strange creatures decide to make their home on his hat, including creatures from other Lear poems.
🎨 Helen Oxenbury
