This commemorative oversized volume of the complete collection of stories and poems of Lewis Carol showcases his ingenious use of word play, inverted logic and satire. Lewis Carroll was the pen name and, it could be claimed, the alter ego of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematician, writer and photographer. His creations, especially Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, have been translated into countless languages and are as loved now as they have ever been. His neologisms ("curiouser and curiouser") and turns of phrase have forever infiltrated and enriched our language and culture.

great product,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Stories and Poems of Lewis Carroll (Hardcover)
I bought this product used, but when I received it there was hardly anything wrong with it. It was basically like new. No pages were bent, and the only thing was a slight glue smudge on the cover but I was able to get it off with my fingernail. The seller got the book to me speedily, and provided me with a slip of paper that outlined the "damage" of the used book clearly, so that anything else that was damaged I would know about immediately. I would buy from the seller again.
