Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) is famed for his magical stories, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, here illustrated throughout the inner pages by Sir John Tenniel's much loved drawings. However, inspired by the insatiable Victorian appetite for party games, tricks and conundrums, this eccentric and polymathical Englishman also wrote many other works of a humorous, witty, whimsical and nonsensical nature such as the mock-heroic nonsense verse The Hunting of the Snark, as well as dozens of other verses, stories, acrostics and puzzles, all of which are included in this volume. Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses. Other Writings include: Sylvie and Bruno / Sylvie and Bruno Concluded / Rhyme and Reason Miscellaneous Works Early Verse / Puzzles from Wonderland / Prolugues / College Rymes and Notes Acrostics, Inscriptions and other verses / Three Sunsets and other poems / Stories / A Miscellany AUTHOR: Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898).
