My Jabberwocky

Dearest Emily,

I've drawn you a Jabberwocky. I hope you like him.


First told at a party in Whitby to his cousins the Wilcoxes in 1855 at Whitburn, the Jabberwocky was based on a local legend 'The Tale of the Lambton Worm'. He made his way seventeen years later into 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' and then became the muse for 'The Snark'.

Do you think he is scary enough Em?


Your ever-loving Grand-mother, Gigi xxxx
