Frederic Ogden Nash was an American poet, celebrated for his light verse. His distinctive, often humorously unconventional rhymes established him as a leading voice in humorous poetry.
It's been more than thirty years since the appearance of a collection from America's laureate of light verse. Ogden Nash first gathered together an anthology of thirty years of his published works in 1959. In 1973 his daughters gathered more than four hundred of his poems and called it I Wouldn't Have Missed It , a quote from one of his verses. Now more poems have come to light, so his daughters have once again produced The Best of Ogden Nash , the definitive Nash anthology. The poems display the talent of the man whose verse entranced America from the time of the Great Depression until his death in 1971. The Best of Ogden Nash should delight old fans and introduce new readers to a unique talent.
In this humorous poem, Custard the cowardly dragon saves the day when a pirate threatens Belinda and her pet animals.

Básníka Ogdena Nashe zná celý anglosaský svět, tak jako Edwarda Leara a Lewise Carrolla. U nás je však autorem téměř neznámým. Kniha obsahuje 26 (rozmanitě dlouhých) básní; zrcadlově vždy anglický originál a český překlad na společných dvoustranách.
