Treatment for the Final Paper

I became interested in John Lennon's association with portmanteau and neologism after reading that he was very much influenced by James Joyce, Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll and Ronald Searle. I am looking to write my paper on the influence of these writers on John Lennon's two major works of fiction, "A Spaniard in the Works" and "In His Own Write," and how they should also be considered works of children's literature. I will also be researching his music and illustrations and how they also contribute to his "unique" style of writing children's literature.
