Lewis Carroll's poem 'JABBERWOCKY' is a nonsense poem that was first published in 1871 as part of his novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. The poem is written in a unique style of English that uses made-up words and phrases to create a surreal atmosphere. It tells the story of a young boy who goes out to slay a creature called the Jabberwock, and is often seen as an allegory for the struggles of growing up.
