Features: The language of this book is witty and humorous, full of charm. Those vivid, fresh, satirical, and enigmatic wordless expressions, the occasional wordplay, portmanteaus, or limericks and puns inserted into the storyline, as well as the playful wordplay starting from "Jabberwocky," often leave readers baffled but bestow the work with a unique aesthetic appeal. Among them, "Jabberwocky," the famous poem in Alice Through the Looking-Glass, takes Carroll's linguistic characteristics to the extreme, earning admiration from the world. The absurd portmanteau "Jabberwocky" was also subsequently included in the Oxford English Dictionary.
