Jabberwocky [Kindle Edition]

Daniel Coleman (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

“One, two! One, two! and through and through the vorpal blade went snicker-snack!” Blood pounded in Tjaden’s ears as he breathed in the acrid odor, and his sword didn’t falter. Not after the convoluted road that had led him to set out alone to find and slay the manxome Jabberwocky. But the secrets he’d learned about the Jabberwocky’s sorrowful past made it a sour victory.

How different would the situation be if the girl he loved wasn’t at risk? Why didn’t anyone tell him the dark secrets surrounding the Tumtum tree?

Jabberwocky, a short novel by Daniel Coleman, is the untold story inspired by Lewis Carroll’s epic poem. Meet the characters and creatures that inhabit the world long before Alice ever fell down the rabbit’s hole.

While staying true to every detail of Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece, Jabberwocky provides twists that will keep you turning pages. You might know how it ends, but you won’t believe how it happens.

More About the Author

Daniel Coleman spends his time back and forth between two worlds - the fantastic world of Writing where happy endings are common, and the very real- life world of Firefighting where the outcomes are as varied as the emergencies.

A small farming town in northern Utah is his home, where he resides with his wife, 3 kids and an ever-changing menagerie.

Daniel got his start in writing the same place he started reading--Fantasy (See JABBERWOCKY and HATTER). But other projects demanded their due and GIFTS AND CONSEQUENCES resulted. He is currently working on follow-up books as well as finishing a science-based Urban Fantasy novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jousting the Jabberwocky, April 5, 2011

This review is from: Jabberwocky (Kindle Edition)

Daniel Coleman takes Lewis Carroll's poem and gives it a life of its own while remaining true to the initial writings. JABBERWOCKY tells the story of a young man named Tjaden. His desire, beyond marrying his childhood sweetheart Elora, is to become an Elite. The Elites are the ultimate fighting force of the kingdom and Tjaden has a good chance of making a name for himself. Now throw in deception, action, mystery, true love, friendship, and not to mention the Jabberwocky itself and you will have an idea of everything this story entails. This novel kept me entertained from the first page to the last.

I wish it could have been just a bit longer, it wasn't because the story felt unfinished but because I wanted to spend more time with the characters. This book is perfect for anyone who is entranced by the world of Lewis Carroll. It is a well written story and is suitable for all ages.

This is a great book with plenty of excitement and entertainment for the entire family. It is creative and uses the original poem to introduce each chapter. I highly recommend it to all age levels. This book is a little short (only because I wanted more) but makes for a quick and enjoyable read. I read the book with my family taking turns.

Excellent read. I have had the opportunity to pre-read one of Mr. Colemans upcoming novels about the origins of the Mad Hatter, and I must say that I anticipate great things from this author. Great flow to the words, great creativity and storytelling. The fantasy realm will be enhanced with Mr. Colemans work.
