Jabberwocky and Other Nonsense

<b>The collected poems of the author of <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i></b> <p/>One of the best-known lines in literature--Twas brillig and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe--comes from Lewis Carroll's poetry which he wrote throughout his life to amuse himself and to give pleasure to his friends and family.
