«The Owl and the Pussycat» is Edward Lear's poem, illustrated by Louise Voce, published by Walker Books in paperback (32 pages, in English).
An owl and a cat set sail in a pea-green boat; after a year and a day they reach the land where the Bong-tree grows, where he buys a ring from a pig and they celebrate their wedding by the light of the moon. Louise Voce illustrates it with colourful scenes that underline the absurd humour and tenderness of Edward Lear's nonsense.
The original poem dates from 1871; this edition with illustrations by Louise Voce was published in 1993.
