3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not complete, December 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll (Mass Market Paperback)

On the plus side, this book contains loads of stuff by Lewis Carroll as well as the two Alice books. Not much is of the same quality, but quite a lot is well worth having. However, be aware that the title is misleading. Quite a lot that Lewis Carroll wrote is not here, as can be seen by doing a search for books by "Carroll, Lewis" and comparing that with the contents. It includes some material that appeared under his real name or pseudonyms other than Lewis Carroll, but few will grumble at that. Although all the wonderful illustrations by Tenniel for the Alice books are here (albeit not always clearly reproduced), no other illustrations are included. For some works, such as The Hunting of the Snark, the illustrations commissioned by Carroll are excellent and their omission is a serious drawback. However, for all lovers of the Alice books who want to read more by the author, this is a fair and inexpensive starting point.

This review is from: The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll (Leatherbound Classics) (Hardcover)

This has the two Alice books in it, Tha weird poem abotu the vorpal sword (can't recall the name right now), two other books in it, and a wide variety of poems and essays by Carroll. The book is illustrated, though all of the illustrations are black and white. I got it new for less than 20 bucks, which is a good price. Something to consider when you look at how much they are selling it for here.
