Inhaltsangabe

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogroves, And the mome raths outgrabe. So begins one of the most celebrated and best-loved nonsense poems in the English language, "Jabberwocky", which first appeared in 1872 in Lewis Carroll's classic Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Using a technique of digital collage, Joel Stewart reveals a natural affinity with Carroll's vision, capturing with great wit and imagination the extraordinary world of the poem and its memorable creatures, such as the Jubjub bird, the frumious Bandersnatch and the manxome Jabberwock. "Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Lewis Carroll, the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-1898, taught mathematics at Christ Church College, Oxford. He is the author of two of the classic stories of children's literature: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) (a Kate Greenaway Medal-winning edition of which is published by Walker Books) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872). These books contain many of his most popular poems, including "Jabberwocky", "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "How Does the Little Crocodile?" Joel Stewart grew up in Sheffield and was awarded a First Class BA Hons degree in Illustration at Falmouth College of Arts. Since graduating he has illustrated several titles, including the widely acclaimed Walker picture book Adventures of a Nose, written by his girlfriend, Viviane Schwarz. Joel lives in Falmouth, Cornwall with Viviane and several goldfish.
