Jabberwocky. The Classic Poem from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.
Re-imagined and illustrated by Christopher Myers.
Myers takes Carroll's most famous nonsense poem and brilliantly recreates it as a pick-up basketball game. He uses Carroll's original poem and his own vibrant illustrations to create a "Jabberwock" who is the towering king of an urban basketball court, unchallenged -- up till now!
Myers' illustrations pulse with energy, and could, the New York Times reviewer concluded, "make you believe that somewhere in Mount Cemetery in Surrey, England, Lewis Carroll is attempting a graceful spin move." |
