Three Sunsets And Other Poems by Lewis Carroll

“Jabberwocky” is perhaps the world’s best-known “nonsense poem,” filled with made-up words, leaving the reader to decide on the meaning of the words from their context and sound. His most famous poem, “ Jabberwocky,” appeared in the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a book called Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. Each of his books of children’s literature includes a number of poems that are filled with clever wordplay. In addition to being a novelist, Carroll was also a skilled poet. The story follows the adventures of a young girl named Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole and enters a surreal world filled with talking animals and strange characters. It has been in print continuously for more than 150 years and has been translated into more than 80 languages. It is considered a classic of children’s literature. This book was especially notable for its fantastical and imaginative nature, as well as its use of wordplay and clever puns. In 1865, he published his first, and most successful novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In 1856, at the age of 24, he first used the pen name Lewis Carroll for a poem called “Solitude.” In his early twenties, he had a number of works published in magazines.

As a child he loved to read and he began writing poems and short stories at a young age.
