About the book

Eugene Field's «Nonsense for Old and Young» is a delightful collection that captures the whimsical spirit of childhood and the playful absurdity that often accompanies adult memories of youth. The book is characterized by its lighthearted verse, clever wordplay, and imaginative narratives that blend the nonsense tradition with a deep affection for both innocence and experience. Field's masterful use of rhythm and rhyme enables readers of all ages to revel in the sheer joy of language, while the content invites reflection on the nature of silliness and the essential characteristics of human playfulness. Field, a prominent American poet and journalist of the late 19th century, was deeply influenced by the cultural currents of his time, especially the emergence of children's literature and the Victorian affinity for nostalgia. His own experiences as a father and a keen observer of life allowed him to tap into the exuberance of childhood, asserting its significance even amidst the more sober adult realities. These personal dimensions are evident throughout his poetry, enriching the text's appeal. «Nonsense for Old and Young» is highly recommended for readers seeking to relive the joys of childhood or to share the wonder of whimsical literature with future generations. Its cleverness will enchant children, while adults will appreciate the subtle commentary on the interplay between maturity and the innocence of youth.
