The Complete Works

Lewis Carroll is best known for his two books describing "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass", but he was a prolific author of fantasy and nonsense verse, which are represented here in the complete "Sylvie and Bruno" and "The Hunting of the Snark". Also included are early verse, "Puzzles from Wonderland", prologues to plays, "Phantasmagoria", college rhymes and notes, acrostics, inscriptions, "Three Sunsets" and other poems.
The book is bound in real cloth, with head and tail bands, a ribbon marker and top edge gilt with a gold-blocked jacket. It is illustrated throughout by Sir John Tenniel, Henry Holiday and Harry Furniss.

"What is the use of a book", thought Alice,
without pictures or conversations?"
"Curiouser and curiouser," cried Alice
Oh my dead paws. Oh my fur and whiskers!
"Where shall I begin please, your Majesty?" he asked.
"Begin at the beginning" the King said gravely,
then go until you come to the end: then stop."
It's a poor of memory that only works backwards.
It's as large as life, and twice as natural!"
Lewis Carroll
