After You, Mr. Lear

In North America, Edward Lear (1812-1888) is best remembered for his delightful limericks and other nonsense poetry. In addition to writing, he was also an accomplished landscape artist and illustrator. He spent many years in Italy drawing and painting the scenery. In 1996, the author and his wife Gilly set off in their sailing yacht, "Gang Warily", through the rivers and canals of France to the Mediterranean and south Italy to reach the scenes Lear had described in paint and in words. Drummond always cruises with a purpose: follow in the wake of an author who recorded his experiences during the last two centuries. He is the author of "The Riddle" looking for the truth in Erskine Childers’ novel "The Riddle of the Sands".
