I have always loved the work of Lewis Carroll. In fact, Litreading began with my rendition of Carroll’s nonsense poem Jabberwocky. His only foray into shorter works came in the form of poetry, much of which found its way into his Alice books.This piece was written a bit differently earlier and changed when added to the book, “Alice’s Adventures Through the Looking Glass.”This nonsense verse is said to be a parody of a poem by Wordsworth, Resolution and Independence.Lewis Carroll was the pen name and alter ego of Charles Dodgeson, a well off Englishman in the mid 19th Century. Although not a particularly prolific author – he had myriad passions – Carroll remains of the most popular writers of all time.
