The Burgess Nonsense Book

Gelett Burgess - The Burgess Nonsense Book (1901)

Another from author/editor/humorist/poet Gelett Burgess, this time collecting much of his nonsense work (including "Purple Cow").  I don't think it's meant for children, at least not entirely, but in any case has aged well enough.
