The Little Limerick Book [antikvár]

publisher's noteSome years ago the present publishers issued a small volume entitled World's Best Limericks. In the preface to that book (still very much in print, and highly recommended to all aficionados) we asked that readers send us any superb examples they had written.Dozens of people from all over the world have had the goodness to send us limericks. Those who have submitted examples that we have been able to include in the present collection, and are new to us, are: Mary A. Harrington, R. G. Heard, W. D. Lewis, Frank Mittler, G. S. Myers, Harry Pollak, Arthur Rosenblum, James W. Sales, John Smith and A. H. Stevens, Jr.Many new verses of these good contributors and many new verses from sources that prefer to remain anonymous, are included here. Our thanks go to these contributors, to all others who have written us and to those anonymous bards of the past whose creations make the bulk of this book.
