Currently thinking about non-English translations of Jabberwocky, because it has to be so hard translating a nonsense poem.

And it’s not just making the nonsense words fit the translated language’s morphology, you have to have most of the nonsense words mean something for a later chapter in the book where Humpty Dumpty explains the portmanteau words. So in one Japanese translation, “frumious,” which is a portmanteau of “fuming” and “furious,” is translated as “takeburu,” which draws on the words “takeru,” fierce, and “keburu”, to smoke.

But I also just love the names of the Jabberwock in other languages. In French he’s le Jaseroque, der Jammerwoch in German, Barmaglot in Russian, and at least one Danish translation named him Kloppervok. It’s the one word you could very justifiably keep untranslated, but everyone wants to make the name fit, make it feel at home in the translation.

I have no point here, I just think it’s neat.

What Happened to the Previous Golden Guard?

We’re thrilled to celebrate The Owl House's Thanks to Them’s 2nd anniversary with you (a tiny bit early)! Join us on a journey back to the Boiling Isles as we dive into the tale of Hunter’s predecessor, the previous Golden Guard, Jasper. We’ve got a special treat in store—an amazing two-part experience featuring an animated AMV by the talented  @Draikinator  with original music, along with a full audiobook presented by IdleScree.

Watch the animation HERE!

This story has been a labor of love for over a year, and we can’t wait for you to experience it! We hope, in the spirit of this spookiest of seasons, it will haunt you just as it has with us. The Owl House meant a lot to us personally, and provided a space and a platform to grow and exceed our crafts out of a great love for its story that has inspired the story we are proud to share today.

Thank you for listening!

Wood Engraving Wednesday

JIM HORTON

Here is a progression of engravings from Ann Arbor, Michigan, wood engraver and letterpress printer Jim Horton's edition of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. These engravings illustrate each stanza of Carroll's nonsense poem. This little book was printed on Wausau Royal fiber paper with handset Virile Open and Tell Text No. 5, and Horton's original wood engravings at his Ann Arbor studio, End-Gravure Graphics, in 1998. Horton is the founder of the Wood Engravers' Network. Our copy of Jabberwocky another donation from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.

One, two! One, two! And through and through

She left it dead, and with its head

      She went galumphing back.

Which one is yours?

The story of the girl who fell through the world is well known. It is a tale as old as the Kingdoms themselves. It is told to every child faunas and human alike and there isn't anyone who doesn't know the four heroes who helped Alyx make it home.

First: The ever Protective Rusted Knight who stood guard every night while Alyx slept. Unwilling to leave her unprotected. So great was his devotion to her protection, that he willingly drank the poison that was made for her.

Second: The ever Kind Tarnished Spartan who taught young Alyx how to hold her head high and to stand strong against the dangers of the lands. So great was her kindness that when faced with the Hateful Red King she alone was able to sway his heart and free Alyx from his grasp.

Third: The ever Jovial Weeping Valkyrie who taught the young Alyx to laugh at her fears and worries until the tears of failure turned into tears of triumph. So great was her joy that she alone managed to show Alyx the way to the tree and bypass the Jabberwocky.

Fourth: The ever Wise Mournful Monk who taught our young hero that no matter the loss, one can only ever truly die as long as their memory remained true. So wise was he that when Alyx crossed the doorway home, he remained so that nothing could chase after her, standing guard until the end of time.

There is no one alive who doesn't have a favorite. Which one is yours?
