Найти книгу: "The Jabberwock Came Whiffling"

Twas brillig–and Albert is vacationing with his family in The Valley of Enchantment in Redwoods National Park in California when something goes very, VERY wrong. Albert suddenly finds himself without cell phone service, and is forced to deal with slithy toves, mome raths, borogoves, and a pretty girl named Alice. The only way that Albert can ever return home, he's told, is by slaying the Jabberwock, the monster featured in Lewis Carroll's classic poem, «Jabberwocky»; and then getting into the cave of a snark, which is, unfortunately, a boojum. Wonderland was never so much fun–or so dangerous! This modern-day sequel to Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books is a middle-grade novel for kids–and for adults who can still remember when they were kids. Great fantasy adventure!

Lewis Carroll’s inventive style of poetry is brought to life in this collection of his verse “Jabberwocky and Other Poems.” As most famously illustrated in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, Carroll used his mastery of gibberish to form inventive rhymes and lexicons. Many critics have searched for meanings in his poems, but it is believed that Carroll used the nonsensical as a satire of high-poetry. Believing that many writers took themselves too seriously, he wrote “Jabberwocky”, for instance, as a way to confuse writers and critics alike. Audiences have fallen in love with Carroll’s unorthodox writing style, although there is little to say in terms of the poems’ plots, the colorful and amusing nature of Carroll’s writing draws readers into the author’s stimulating and vibrant mind. Along with selections from his volumes of poetry this collection includes verses from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass” and a biographical afterword.
