Everybody knows Alice in Wonderland from the great Disney animated movie, but the film is based mostly on the first book, Alices Adventures in Wonderland with only a fraction from Through the Looking Glass (Tweedledee and Tweedledum, for instance.) Through the Looking Glass is where Carroll published Jabberwocky. I'm not a poetry person, but Jabberwocky is so whimsically wonderful. I've known it my whole life, even though I hadn't ever read this book, in which Humpty Dumpty tells Alice of the meaning of some of the unfamiliar words in Jaberwocky. I never even knew that Alice was acquainted with Mr. Dumpty. I give it extra credit because of that marvelous poem. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
