"Jabberwocky" is a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll, featured in his novel "Through the Looking-Glass," published in 1871. The poem narrates the tale of a young hero who battles a fearsome creature called the Jabberwock. It is renowned for its playful use of invented words and whimsical language, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that invites readers to interpret meaning in their own way. The poem exemplifies Carroll's mastery of wordplay and imagination.

Gimble Carroll's explanation: Gymble (whence gimblet) to screw out holes in anything.
Something along the lines of "that is a great practice...but at this moment I would concentrate on the jaberwocky." again its something like that not word for word.
The mirror image of "Jabberwocky" can be found in Lewis Carroll's book "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There." In this book, Alice reads the poem "Jabberwocky" by holding it up to a mirror to see the text in reverse.
An example of a whimsical tone in literature can be seen in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The absurd situations, playful language, and whimsical characters like the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter create a sense of fantasy and amusement for the reader.
The only reference that I can find for 'manxome' is in the poem 'Jaberwocky' by Lewis Carroll. A word that is likely made up by Carroll. Some believe that it refers to 'fearsome Manx people, people of the Isle of Man. In the poem, the word manxome is used as a noun. "He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought-"
The word 'toves' is a word made up by author Lewis Carroll for his nonsense poem 'The Jabberwocky'.The word 'toves' is functioning in his poem as a noun, a word for some type of creature that he leaves to the readers imagination. He describes the creatures with a made up adjective 'the slithy toves'.
At the end of book 2, Sabrina and Puck go through the portal to get Sabrina's parents, but it closes behind them. They end up in Ferryport Landing mental hospital, where little red riding hood (who is completely crazy) is keeping them captive. She is trying to recreate the family she once lost, as returning from grannys house they had all vanished. She now has 2 parents (H + V Grimm), a baby brother, a 'kitty' (the jaberwocky from Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Caroll), and now she just needs a 'doggie' (canis) and granny (Relda)
Jaberwocky is a nonsense poem set in a nonsense land, but Lewis Carroll suggests it is set on the same island as his later nonsense epic, The Hunting of the Snark. The most we find out about this island is that the view from the beach "consists of chasms and crags". This island is also inhabited by jubjub birds, bandersnatches, snarks, and, of course, the jabberwock.The full text of The Hunting of the Snark can be found by following the related link below.
