The Story. Written by mathematician and literary icon Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) and edited and introduced by noted Carroll biographer Roger Lancelyn Green, this edition offers a rich, welcoming treasury of nineteenth-century imagination.
Inside this generous green-cloth volume, readers can wander through Carroll's most celebrated tales including Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass alongside Sylvie and Bruno, the mock-heroic ballad The Hunting of the Snark, Jabberwocky, assorted nonsense verse, puzzles, and Wonderland miscellany. Green's introductory essay places Carroll's playful wordplay and mathematical logic within the broader tapestry of Victorian storytelling, while Sir John Tenniel's crisp black-and-white drawings bring every curious encounter to life.
Perfect For. Classic literature collectors, Victorian fantasy fans, and readers looking for a comprehensive vintage anthology alongside works by J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan), Kenneth Grahame (The Wind in the Willows), or Edward Lear's nonsense verse.
