Davy and the Goblinor - What followed reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
Charles Edward Carryl
Casa editrice: DigiCat
Sinossi
Charles Edward Carryl's 'Davy and the Goblin' epitomizes the Victorian golden age of children's literature, embedding itself firmly within this rich tradition. As Carryl weaves the journey of Davy, a young skeptic in matters of the fantastical, readers are plunged into a tapestry of adventure stitched together with both familiar and obscure mythical vignettes. Carryl's narrative bears the influence of Carrollian logic and whimsy, while also hinting at the early stirrings of the nonsense verse popularized by authors such as Edward Lear, imbuing the tale with a delightful balance of moral questions and playful absurdity. The literary style is marked by its lyrical prose and vibrant imagery, which masterfully evokes the wonder and curiosity of its young protagonist's discoveries. The author, Charles Edward Carryl, was an American stockbroker and poet known for dipping his pen into the well of imaginative fantasy. Inspired possibly by the fanciful stories he likely shared with his own children, 'Davy and the Goblin' could be seen as an articulation of Carryl's creative ethos—celebrating the skepticism of the modern mind while indulging in the timeless allure of folklore and fairy tale. Carryl's own journey might mirror Davy's: that of reconciling the growing demands of rationality with the enchanting pull of the fantastical. 'Davy and the Goblin' comes highly recommended to readers young and old who appreciate the finesse of classic children's literature. It calls to those who delight in the exploration of imaginative realms and the nostalgia evoked by fairy tales. The book not only serves as an enchanting bedtime story but also as a thoughtful reflection on the transition from childhood innocence to the complexity of adult skepticism, making it a compelling read for any lover of literary artistry and storytelling.
