Product Description
Product Description
Everything that Lewis Carroll ever published in book form appears in this volume. In addition, at least ten of the shorter pieces have never appeared in print except in their original editions. Included are: 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' 'Through the Looking-Glass,' 'Sylvie and Bruno,' 'Sylvie and Bruno Concluded,' 'The Hunting of the Snark' and all of the poetry, essays and phantasmagoria along with a substantial collection of his miscellaneous writings. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Other Stories is part of Barnes & Noble's series of quality leatherbound volumes. Each title in the series presents a classic work in an attractively designed edition bound in genuine bonded leather, with beautiful illustrations and breathtaking endpapers. These books make elegant additions to any home library.
About the Author
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was happiest in the company of children for whom he created puzzles, clever games and charming letters. As all Carroll admirers know, his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) became an immediate success and has since been translated into more than eighty languages. The equally popular sequel Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, was published in 1872. The Alice books are but one example of his wide ranging authorship. The Hunting of the Snark, a classic nonsense epic (1876) and Euclid and His Modern Rivals, a rare example of humorous work concerning mathematics, still entice and intrigue today's students. His humour, sparkling wit and genius have lasted for more than a century and his books are among the most quoted works in the English language.

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as a birthday present for my daughter, she is over the moon with it, the leather binding and gold edging to the pages make this a luxury book. She is a big fan of the author's sense of humour and really likes the pink colour though pink might not suit everyone.

Really good quality, better than it looks in the picture. Bit heavy though so not great for bedtime reading or travelling. Loads of stories and interpretations and notes for hardcore Lewis Carrol fans.

Format:Hardcover
Beautifully produced book with a fantastic cover design. Contains the John Tenniel illustrations. A bit larger than I had imagined, didn't realise Lewis Carrol had written so many short stories!
