Davy and the Goblin; or, What Followed Reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"

De: Charles Edward Carryl

Narrado por: Shea Taylor

Originally published in 1885, Charles E. Carryl's classic tale of fantasy and adventure speaks to the child in all of us.

Always a lover of fairy stories yet unable to believe in their truth, young Davy finds himself whisked away on a "Believing Voyage" one magical Christmas Eve by a little red goblin. In a strange country full of wonders, Davy finds himself coming face to face with a whale in a waistcoat; Robin Hood; the last member of the band of Forty Thieves; Robinson Crusoe; talking dogs, horses, and cows; and Mother Hubbard herself, living side by side with Jack's beanstalk! Davy will learn that there is more to a fairy story than he ever thought possible and that there is magic in believing!

Wonderful Poems Found Here

My mother (b. 1910) had an original 1885 copy of this book, parts of which she read to me when I was a boy. I was delighted to find it here. The narration is first-rate, with distinctive voices for each character. It includes two of my favorite nonsense poems: Sinbad the Sailor's "A capital ship for an ocean trip was the Walloping Window Blind," and Robinson Crusoe's "The Night was thick and hazy when the Picadilly Daisy carried down her crew and captain in the sea."
