Jabberwocky is a perfect example of rhythm and flow in poetry. Carroll has a very musical use of language which is perhaps why Jabberwocky has become very popular in the opera world recently. He has an innate ability to describe terrifying things in a humorous way. It appeals to those of us who want to be intrigued, but not frightened. This phrase below includes a couple portmanteaus created by Carroll including "frabjous" and "chortled." I love learning where words in the English language come from and didn't know that Carroll came up with chortled! "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy." This poem is fun for all ages, a fabulous poem to read for a poetry night or an audition, and still delights me decades after first reading the full story. This is the final work of Santore who was an amazing illustrator. The artwork is stunning. Twas brillig in the slithy toves And the momraths outgrabe... I may not be spelling this correctly but I remember parts of Jabberwocky by heart from my childhood. My mother used to read this to me. I will never forget the glee and delight in her eyes and voice as she read Carroll's classic to this young, imaginative girl. I have loved poetry all of my life and trace it back to this wonderful, nonsense poem. Lewis Carroll's famous poem "Jabberwocky" is reimagined and illustrated here by Christopher Myers, set in Harlem. (Flap copy reads, "Why shouldn't the Jabberwocky be a fourteen-fingered, slam-dunking beast?") Bright background colors seem to glow as they silhouette dark figures. Back matter includes "A Short Note in the Origins of This Book" by Christopher Myers. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
