“And what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation?” ― Lewis Carroll,

We are about to find out first-hand how a book without pictures can be of use. “Twinkle, twinkle, little bat” Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you’re at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky. Well, it is not the Jabberwocky, but it is Other Nonsense. This is a great book with many poems you know and some you haven't heard before. And how do you find the one I just quoted? Of course, look in the back of the book at the section labeled “Index of first lines.” The book features 34 of Carroll's verses. Hopefully, you'll find your favorite or a new favorite. Aside from Ogden Nash, this is the best way to learn real English. I have other copies of most of the poems, but the Penguin book has an excellent cover and a cloth bookmark. It looks good on the shelf or a coffee table. Better still in your hand. If the Jabberwocky is your main interest, then you might enjoy a bit of sci-fi. "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" is a science fiction short story by Lewis Padgett (a pseudonym for American writers Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore).
