Worldbuilders let people who donated money to them vote on what I would read if they hit $600,000. They did reach that goal, and they voted. It was between Goodnight Moon, Fox in Socks, Where the Wild Things Are and Jabberwocky. Jabberwocky won. So I got up this morning and headed, sleep-bleary, out into the woods to record myself reciting it... You can donate to Worldbuilders at worldbuilders.org. And you should.

"A particularly tulgey wood" *swoon*

@LouieNeira 10 лет назад

This is the true reason I became a writer; the sounds words make when skillfully arranged and spoken is literary music.

I made a video of me saying the Jabberwocky poem...

"Claws that bite and jaws that snatch." I'm sorry sir but I also memorized this poem and I was caught by that particular mixup :))

@ClaudiaPadme 10 лет назад

Also, borogoves. But a lovely 'reading' nonetheless!

@secondclasselitist4568 10 лет назад

Thank you sir, for everything you do. You have made the world a more magical imaginative place, and hearing you recite this only adds to the wonder you have wrought.

Neil Gaiman recites the Jabberwocky Poem, so stop what you're doing and listen to the greatness of an icon.

@wildkatze78 10 лет назад

Oh, Mr. Gaiman. That gave me chills down my spine. Thanks for all that you do.

@kevingroves8916 10 лет назад

My most fav poem with such a cool guy. Thanks!

@AlekPixi 10 лет назад

You, sir, should be wearing a scarf! Lovely recitation. Thanks to you, I've now had the fortune of hearing both "Jabberwocky" and "Green Eggs and Ham" (and beautifully, too! I sat with childish winder as you did it) - thank you for making sure I get a proper literary upbringing, even if I am almost 20 (it's never too late!) Lots of love from (also very cold) Denmark

And a magnificent reading it was!!! *applause*

@neilgaiman 10 лет назад

Me, reciting Jabberwocky. For a good cause. Not randomly.

This just made my day of grading composition papers much better.

@SilvariaKiralv 10 лет назад

Beautiful! I got the shivers, and not just from empathizing with you standing in that cold, tulgey wood

@PaulBradin 10 лет назад

Wonderfully recited Mr Gaiman.

@Ororo82 10 лет назад

Love, love, and tons of love! I was one of those who chose Jabberwocky. It's fiercely lovely in your voice ^.^

Bravo Mr. Gaiman! This poem is a new favourite, thank you :)

@pamelamoyer1812 10 лет назад

Fantastic!

@alifakhri148 10 лет назад

Thank you so much for your recitation! I love the Jabberwocky. A friend gave me a delightfully quirky, little, pink book when I went to Vietnam over 40 years ago. It used Jabberwocky. I loved it. Sadly, I lost it over the years. I cannot remember the name or author of the book. If anyone out there knows the book, I would be grateful for learning the title.

Chortling in my joy right now.

Love you!!

@ericandersen2457 10 лет назад

I thought to myself, I don't need to see this video, it's just a man reading a poem I've heard read many a time before. None of those people, however, were Neil Gaiman.

@TheDamonrichard 10 лет назад

You realize that if you keep this up their going to make you read the London phone book next so it'll last longer. :-)

@codswallop321 10 лет назад

Terrific. The tiny changes in the 2nd stanza are undoubtedly an improvement :)

@voltairecasino 10 лет назад

God, it's cold.

@sebsebseb1905 10 лет назад

@SnoopDogeRedditEdge 10 лет назад

i literally signed into my reddit account to say this. take my upboat and go you magnificent person. EDIT: THANKS FOR THE GOLD KIND STRANGER.

@PedanticPig 10 лет назад

You mispronounced "gyre" (hard g) and "borogoves" (no second r), it's the "jaws that bite" and the "claws that catch" (not the "claws that bite" and the "jaws that snatch"), "the" Tumtum tree (not "a" Tumtum tree), stood a while "in" thought (not "he" thought), and "the" vorpal blade went snicker-snack (not "his" vorpal blade). My overly obsessive inner Carroll nerd is crying right now.

@ClaudiaPadme 10 лет назад

And the omitted "my son"!
