Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) is famed for his magical stories, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, here illustrated throughout the inner pages by Sir John Tenniel's much loved drawings. However, inspired by the insatiable Victorian appetite for party games, tricks and conundrums, this eccentric and polymathical Englishman also wrote many other works of a humorous, witty, whimsical and nonsensical nature such as the mock-heroic nonsense verse 'The Hunting of the Snark', as well as dozens of other verses, stories, acrostics and puzzles, all of which are included in this volume. Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.

Best Compendium Around,
By
This review is from: LEWIS CARROLL THE COMPLETE, FULLY ILLUSTRATED WORKS (Leather Bound)
Found this book at a Borders or Barnes & Noble - Cost me somewhere around $40-$50, definitely NOT $150.00 as some sellers claim. But it is the BEST collection of Lewis Carolls works I have ever seen. Beautiful gold-trimmed edges, and real leather. This is made to last. If you love Lewis Carrolls works, this is a keeper and must-have.

This review is from: Complete Illustrated Lewis Carroll (Wordsworth Special Editions) (Wordsworth Classics) (Paperback)
I bought this book from Colombia. It was shipped perfectly, and the book arrived in great condition. As a book it's everything you could ask for: great illustrations and the complete works. Nice presentation. And you get all of this for such a low price. Very good edition.
