The Tale of the Mouse's Tail. The Journey of Lewis Carroll's Mouse's Tail Around the World and Through Computers.
By David and Maxine Schaefer.
Illustrated by Jonathan Dixon.
Silver Spring, MD: Mica Publishers, 1995.
The technopaegnia (shape-poem) Mouse's Tale, which was typeset in the form of a sinuous mouse tail in chapter 3 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is recreated and reimagined in this book. The "tale" tail grows into many different shapes and languages including Japanese, Russian, and more. Dixon's charming color mouse illustration on the cover, in which the quasi-sigma shaped tale consists of the repeated word "tail," are matched by his creative black and white illustrations throughout the book. |
