"Jabberwocky and Other Poems," by Lewis Carroll, is an inspired collection by this remarkable writer. A brief note at the beginning of the book discusses the life and career of Carroll (1832-98), who was a mathematician as well as a poet. The selections in this book are taken from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," "Through the Looking Glass," and other sources.

This collection shows Carroll's quirky, mischievous playfulness as well as his technical prowess with rhyme, meter, and wordplay. He is consistently inventive and often satirical. The book is very funny, often quite absurd, and has an occasional dark, sinister edge.

Just a few of the highlights are as follows. "The Mouse's Tale": a visual poem shaped like a mouse's tale. "Brother and Sister": a hilarious tribute to sibling rivalry that uses an interesting rhyme scheme. "The Walrus and the Carpenter": a sort of narrative horror-comedy with rich touches of absurdism. "Poeta Fit, non Nascitur": a hilarious satire on the art of writing poetry. And of course, the brilliant title poem, with its memorable opening: "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe."

Jeremy Taylor deserves a wider audience than those who are interested only in Christian classics.

He is also a prose stylist of the first water. Read him, and you will see where DeQuincey got his chops. As he warms to the solemn themes about which he writes, his sentences are like great rivers of poetic and exalted language. His experience as a preacher also makes him a great master of the -sound- of words.

I have been trying to research Mr. Doolittle and the Doolittle raids. This is one of the most informational books I've yet read. I hope everyone gets a chance to read it.

Marvelous book, gives a clear understanding of what happened in New Mexico during the 17th century. A must read!

Kids Outdoors does a great job at teaching kids the basics of hiking, camping and even canoeing, weather signs and more. My daughter loves the book.

Most book start slowly. The story has to be built up. This books is exciting from start till end. The caracters in the book are well balanced. You really have to read the whole book, before you will understand the story. (Tycho, aged 10)

I have read all the Kryon books up to and including this last one are a great read. It answered many of the remaining questions I would like to have asked Kryon had I been to a channeling. He lets you know you are growing even when you think you are not. A must read.

LANGUAGE AND LEWIS CARROLL by Robert D. Sutherland, Ph.D. is likely one of the most definitive scholarly works on Carroll to date. Sutherland deftly explores the fascinating linguistic structures, puzzles, and games that pepper Carroll's literary work. For any teacher, student, or reader interested in both a serious treatment of Lewis Carroll's work and a splendid model of what literary scholarship should look like, LANGUAGE AND LEWIS CARROLL is a must-read.

For any kind of reserch paper on Lewis Carroll, this a good book to look through. This book is like Anotated Alice, yet different. It includes some annotations, but is still mostly about his life. How many people knew that the Lewis Carroll based his books on a real Alice? Going even further, how many people know that he used a different Alice in the sequel? You can find all this and more in the book. For example, some people may not know that Charles Dodgson had O.C.D. And his best friends were little girls? The things that are in that book are amazing, and very helpful. Cheers!!!!!!!! : )

This is a great reading for anyone who loves Russian classics. It combines the unique Nabokov's style with the wonderful plot of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece. Don't expect to see the exact translation of Carroll's book, rather consider it as a "variation on the theme" of "Alice in Wonderland". Take a book, a cup of tea, spend the time with favourite and funny Carroll's heros in the magic country of Carroll-Nabokov.
