Jabberwocky of Authors
'Jabberwocky of Authors' Summary
The Jabberwocky of Authors is a playful reimagining of Lewis Carroll's iconic poem 'Jabberwocky.' Instead of nonsensical words like 'slithy toves' and 'frumious Bandersnatch,' the poem employs the names of famous authors. This creates a humorous and slightly surreal experience, where phrases like 'a Galsworthy' and 'a Trollope' are used instead of the original verses. The poem retains the structure and rhythm of Carroll's original, creating a sense of familiarity while simultaneously delivering a fresh and entertaining take on literary history. Readers can enjoy the clever wordplay and test their knowledge of authors as they encounter names like Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, and many more, woven into a nonsensical yet entertaining narrative.Book Details
