"The Carpenter and the Walrus" is my favorite story, told in poetic form by Tweedledee in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass." The illustrations by John Tenniel are absolutely brilliant.. Disney movies often give us a much different picture than we imagine the characters to look like. However, Tenniel offers such intimate and accurate illustrations to Carroll's words that I constantly see direct parallels between Tenniel and Disney's illustrated portrayal of Alice and her adventures. The story of two sobbing characters, the walrus and the carpenter, confronted by adorable oysters that they fool into becoming a delectable meal is great! I read the poem spoken by Tweedledee with absolute delight. It definitely made me feel like a giddy-kid again!
