Excerpts from Lance Hansen’s ‘Limerature 101’

Happy pub week to Lance Hansen. The illustrator, humorist, poet, and highly informed literary aficionado has combined all of those talents to create a wholly unique and extremely delightful title for Humorist Books: Limerature 101: Literary Classics in Five Lines or Less (With Pictures). Indeed, that’s exactly what we’re getting here. It’s a survey of the history of the western literary canon, with each author and their masterwork condensed into a single, teasing limerick and an accompanying portrait. It’s all very fun, funny, and maybe even a little educational? Check it out, here are a bunch of samples, straight from the text.
