Michael G. Coney - The Jaws That Bite, The Claws That Catch
(Original Title: The Girl with a Symphony in Her Fingers)
Daw Books 144, 1975
Cover Artist: Kelly Freas

Interesting (paperback) title borrowed from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky":

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

"Jabberwocky" is from Carroll's sequel to 'Alice in Wonderland' - 'Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There', 1872

French and German translations of the entire poem:

Garde-toi du Jaseroque, mon fils!
La gueule qui mord; la griffe qui prend!
Garde-toi de l’oiseau Jube, évite
Le frumieux Band-à-prend.

Bewahre doch vor Jammerwoch!
Die Zähne knirschen, Krallen kratzen!
Bewahr' vor Jubjub-Vogel, vor
Frumiösen Banderschnätzchen!
