Despite the Alice books being often thought of as children's books, I didn't get around to reading them until I was 22. When I did, I was spellbound. I was reading away, with quiet enjoyment, when I came across Jabberwocky . I read it, paused, and read it again. Pondered for a while, then read it again.
Jabberwocky beautifully skates the thin edge of being understood and being nonsense.
Back to Jabberwocky where the photography and other fun stuff is. I haven't been able to find a copy though - it's out of print. After I put this page online, I started getting interesting mail from people around the world. Sometimes it is suggestions for a Jabberwocky that I missed, and I add them here. Dear Mr. Shaw, I am currently analyzing works of Lewis Carroll for my 10th grade English class.
