Jun 26, Katie Fitzgerald rated it really liked it Shelves: format-board-books, little-jumping-joan. I love the pictures in this book, but it's disappointing that the text of the poem has been abridged. This poem is so pleasing to the ear for listeners of all ages - surely, even a toddler could sit to listen to the full text. Still, it's a nice introduction to Carroll's imagination. I especially love the mome raths! Aug 17, Brent Weeks rated it liked it Shelves: kid-lit. I like the premise of these books: exploring colors and animals and body parts and weather and so forth through the use of various great works of literature of the past.

That said, elsewhere Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky execution is uneven.

For example, I bought the Jabberwocky mainly Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky see how they were going to handle the decapitation! Sadly, that part of this very short poem was excised. But who exactly is this book for? My child appears to have been a master of nonsense from quite young. Jan 28, Cara Byrne rated it it was amazing. Finally a BabyLit board book that is well written and illustrated for children and adults! This is one of the few titles in the Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky that is well done, as its illustrations fit the poem and the prose is engaging for young readers and challenging for adults to read in a completely appropriate way.

Perhaps the adaptation of this poem into a board book is an easier transition for the BabyLit writers as Carroll's nonsense poem was originally in a work meant for children and plays with a trope very common in works for small children. I would recommend this book above any of the other titles in the series - including Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, and Moby Dick - in a heartbeat. Feb 23, Emily Vander Ark rated it it was ok Shelves: picturebook. Jabberwocky is by far one of my favorite poems. I can usually recite it from memory. So imagine my bewilderment when the boy in the poem goes from thinking under a tree to his father's arms. Something missing? I really love the illustrations. But without any mention of the vorpal blade, the book makes no sense. But then, it does say it is a "nonsense primer" right on the cover. I get that it's a children's book and most board books don't depict the beheading of a scary monster. But I felt that t Jabberwocky is by far one of my favorite poems. But I felt that the book needed more. Plus, they cut the word "uffish. Feb 26, Jennifer rated it it Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky amazing.

And yes, it's a baby board book Oct 09, Chad rated it it was amazing Shelves: hunter-read. Our 12mo old seems to love the illustrations and sounds in this book. Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky truly goes bonkers flipping through it, flapping his arms and hooting. The art is simple, sharp and vibrant and it's a joy to see him engage so fully with it. Sep 27, Heather rated it it was amazing Shelves: kids. My 3-year-old loves this abbreviated version of the Jabberwocky, and goes Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky the house reciting it. The illustrations are colourful and whimsical. Highly recommended if your kids are fans of Dr. Seuss and other silly-sounding rhyming books. Feb 17, K. McDevitt rated it really liked it. Jabberwocky was one of the first poems I ever memorized when I was a kid, so I was immediately drawn to this board book when I spotted it at the BCinDC meetup today.

The illustrations were bold, quirky, and creative. Illustrating Lewis Carroll's nonsense words takes a great amount of creativity, but the artist succeeded well. The mome wraths outgrabing was my second favorite. Oct 01, Jeremy rated it liked it Shelves: animalschildren-yapoetryread-to-katefictionread-to-oliviaread-to-sophie. Doesn't have the Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky poem, but a lot more of the original text than other editions in this series mainly because of the type of text that's being translated into board book form [it's a short poem, not a novel]. But the coolest part the slaying of the monster was left out! Jabberwocky - Wikipedia The artwork is modern, using a Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky palette on each page, which can make the illustration difficult to see page 2. However, the choice of colours is bold and unusual in a preschool book of this kind and makes a refreshing change from the usual primary colours in books of this type. The illustrations are large, clear and simple and as such, are suitable for the target age group. The text wording is in capitals throughout and this does make it slightly trickier to read. It should also be noted that parents do like their children to become sight-familiar with words and letters, preferably in lower case to prepare them for learning to read. The pages have a waxy finish, which feels good to the touch and gives the impression of quality. Overall, I really did think this was a lovely book. The poem, the illustrations and the use of colour were all excellent. The book Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky well bound, felt Little Master Carroll: Jabberwocky to handle and well-proportioned. It was let down by the use of capital letters in the text and the lack of contrast in the illustrations on page 2. I would happily buy this book for my own children.

    Lewis Carroll ‘The Jabberwocky’ 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. Rudyard Kipling ‘The Way Through The Woods’ They shut the road through the woods Seventy years ago. W eather and rain have undone it again, And now you would never know There was once a road through the woods Before they planted the trees. It is underneath the coppice and heath And the thin anemones. Only the keeper sees That, where the ring-dove broods, And the badgers roll at ease, There was once a road through the woods. Yet, if you enter the woods Of a summer evening late, When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools Where the otter whistles his mate, (They fear not men in the woods, Because they see so few) You will hear the beat of a horse’s feet, And the swish of a skirt in the dew, Steadily cantering through The misty solitudes, As though they perfectly knew The old lost road through the woods… But there is no road through the woods.

With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), children’s literature escaped from the grimly moral tone of evangelical tracts to delight in magical worlds populated by talking rabbits and stubborn lobsters. A key work in modern fantasy literature, it is the prototype of the portal quest, in which readers are invited to follow the protagonist into an alternate world of the fantastic. The Alice books are one of the best-known works in world literature. They have been translated into over one hundred languages, and are referenced and cited in academic works and popular culture to this day.

  • The Multifaceted Life of Lewis Carroll
    For Immediate Release 29 October 2005 Contact: Zoë Schoon 020.7752.3121 [email protected] THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS: THE MULTIFACETED LIFE OF LEWIS CARROLL “The more I read, the more impressed I became. The real testament to Carroll’s genius is that after a century and a half, he is still held in the highest esteem by an ever-growing audience of young and old, novice and scholar, logician and lover of nonsense”. Nicholas Falletta The Nicholas Falletta Collection of Lewis Carroll Books and Manuscripts Wednesday 30 November at 2.00pm South Kensington – One of the most considered and thoughtfully-assembled collections of Lewis Carroll material, The Nicholas Falletta Collection of Lewis Carroll Books and Manuscripts will be offered at Christie’s South Kensington on 30 November 2005. Comprising in excess of 120 lots, the sale illuminates the life and personality of this remarkable, many-talented man who wrote some of the best-loved childrens’ books in the English language. Featuring first editions, personal letters, original illustrations, books owned by Carroll, or given by him to his friends (both young and old), rare mathematical textbooks, and little-known games and puzzles, the collection is estimated to fetch in excess of £300,000. Mathematical beginnings… Lewis Carroll was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson in January 1832. He graduated from Christ Church, Oxford in 1854 with a BA Honours in Mathematics and Classics. Elected to a life fellowship, he continued to lecture at Oxford and publish mathematical broadsheets to help his students. It was during this time that he created his famous pseudonym by taking “Charles” and “Lutwidge”, and inverting the latinised form to create “Lewis Carroll”.

  • Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Literary Nonsense
    University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Literary Nonsense A Deconstructive Analysis of Lewis Carroll’s Novel B. A. Essay Lara Ruiz Prados Kt.: 271184-4339 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir January 2018 ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the main features of the nonsense genre, including its definition, characteristics and, especially, its relevance in the world of literature. Nonsense literature encourages the imagination of the reader, whether child or adult, and, at the same time, it motivates the use of the reader’s wisdom to make it even greater. It is not necessary to find out the intention of the writer while he or she was creating the book. The reader must interpret the text according to his own circumstances. Without any doubt, and according to Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), a critical reading must create a text because “there is nothing outside of the text.” Furthermore, the essay offers a deconstructive analysis of nonsense books by the well- known mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), who used to sign his novels with his pen name, Lewis Carroll. Particularly, the essay focuses its investigation on Carroll’s books about the unforgettable character of Alice, such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871). Indeed, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has been one of the world’s most frequently translated works and, after Shakespeare, Carroll is possibly the world’s most quoted author. The famous books about Alice were not expressly written for children; it is needless to say that also adults enjoy Carroll’s unsolved logic problems.

Smith, and this is the slow down. 00:22 Sometimes it's just not about sense, right? When my daughter was a baby, she would say lots of things that made sense. Her first word at I'm not exaggerating, four, five months old, was high. I said it to her every morning when I open my eyes and saw her there beside us in the bed. And then one day, she was the first to wake and say it to me. She said Dabi for diaper. One day, she said to me, Dabi now, which convinced me it was time for her to be potty trained. lobby was her way of saying water. And then there were words whose meaning we came to understand. Meow meant banana. Because her babysitter used to say Yummy, yummy, yummy. When she fed her banana. That word morphed in her ear into meow meow meow. I never did figure out what an appy doobie was. When I asked Naomi, she just laugh and say the word again as if it meant Of course itself. But she said it was such joy. It became an expression in our household for a while. Abby Dubey still pops up from time to time out of parental nostalgia. For the bliss it seemed to signal way back when my son Atticus coined the phrase, Roppongi pangi when he was three.

  • Lewis Carroll - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Lewis Carroll - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Lewis Carroll(27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand. Antecedents Dodgson's family was predominantly northern English, with Irish connections. Conservative and High Church Anglican, most of Dodgson's ancestors were army officers or Church of England clergymen. His great-grandfather, also Charles Dodgson, had risen through the ranks of the church to become Bishop of Elphin. His grandfather, another Charles, had been an army captain, killed in action in Ireland in 1803, when his two sons were hardly more than babies. His mother's name was Frances Jane Lutwidge. The elder of these sons – yet another Charles Dodgson – was Carroll's father. He reverted to the other family tradition and took holy orders. He went to Westminster School, and thence to Christ Church, Oxford. He was mathematically gifted and won a double first degree, which could have been the prelude to a brilliant academic career.
