Description
Featuring some of Lewis Carroll's most famous and best-loved poems - including Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark - as well as lesser-known gems such as Brother and Sister and My Fairy, this production wonderfully illustrates Carroll's fondness for impish satire, verbal wizardry and pure imagination. The selection ranges from pieces written when Carroll was just thirteen to his mature work.

Alicia era la niña más curiosa de Inglaterra. Le gustaban las adivinanzas, los gatos, las historias divertidas y los libros con dibujos.
Pero los que no tenían dibujos, no.
Y, como si lo hubiera hecho aposta, aquella tarde, su hermana, que era mayor que ella y creía que sabía muchas más cosas que Alicia, había decidido leer un libro gigante que estaba tan lleno de palabras que las letras tenían que encoger la barriga para no caerse de la página.
Pero...

Alice s'ennuie et se plaint auprès de sa sœur, qui lit un livre sans images, ni dialogues. Elle se demande «À quoi bon un livre sans images, ni dialogues?». Juste à ce moment, un lapin blanc aux yeux roses vêtu d'une redingote avec une montre à gousset à y ranger surgit et passe près d'elle en courant.

Many a day we rowed together on that quiet stream...and many a fairy tale had been extemporized...yet none of these tales got written down: they lived and died...each in its own golden afternoon until there came a day when, as it chanced, one of the listeners petitioned that the tale might be written down for her.

Master of gibberish Lewis Carroll brings his inventive style of writing to life once more in the collection "Jabberwocky and Other Poems." Though most famous for his creation of Wonderland and Alice's fall into the uncanny world of the nonsensical, Carroll used his wordsmithing ability to form inventive rhymes and lexicons in this collection. Words like "bandersnatch," "chortled," "tulgey," and even "Jabberwocky" are inventions of Carroll's mind....

They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the bank—the birds with draggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable. All of them were covered in Alice's now cold and congealed blood, which made them even tastier looking to poor hungry Alice.
When little Alice follows the Black Rat down into the gaping darkness of an open grave, she falls and falls. And soon
