The complete works of Lewis Carroll
"Lewis Carroll, according to Alexander Woollcott, "wrote the most enchanting nonsense in the English language". And his tow most famous works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, have transcended that language to become part of the folklore of the Western world. They are as familliar in France and Germany as in England and the United States. Written for children - and still enthusiastically received by them - they have also proved irresistable to adults. Less well known but very much in the same vein are the shorter pieces, games, puzzles, problems and acrostics included in this volume. Here, indeed, are all the works that enigmatic, shy, fusy, didactic clergyman, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, fussy, didactic clergyman, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, wrote under the name of Lewis Caroll - the works that totally contradict the face that the Revered Mr. Dodgson presented to the grown-up world." - Publisher
