Autor

Charles Edward Carryl (1841-1920) was an American author and poet known for his contribution to children's literature at the turn of the 20th century. Carryl's whimsical and humorous storytelling is exemplified in his most famous work, 'Davy and the Goblin, or What Followed Reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"' (1884). His literary style often drew inspiration from the nonsensical and imaginative tales popularized by Lewis Carroll, and he, too, mastered the blend of playful verse intermingled with fantastical narratives, resonant in the tradition of literary nonsense. Carryl's work has a certain flair for blending the adventures of childhood with a wit that could simultaneously entertain adult audiences. Before embarking on his literary pursuits, Carryl worked in the world of finance and commerce. It wasn't until later in life that he decided to channel his creative energies into writing. Despite a comparatively modest bibliographic footprint, Carryl's influence extends into the realm of children's literature where his innovative use of fantasy elements and rhymes bolstered the development of the genre. 'Davy and the Goblin' remains an important and delightful example of Carryl's imaginative prowess, a testament to his talent for storytelling that sparks delight across all ages.
