Product Description
Book Description
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.

Best Compendium Around, Oct 28 2007
By Taylor Liss - Published on Amazon.com
Found this book at a Borders or Barnes & Noble - Cost me somewhere around $40-$50, definitely NOT $150.00 as some sellers claim. But it is the BEST collection of Lewis Carolls works I have ever seen. Beautiful gold-trimmed edges, and what seems like real leather. This is made to last. If you love Lewis Carrolls works, this is a keeper and must-have.

Everything you need, May 13 2008
By Gloria Nancy Vallejo Vargas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Complete Illustrated Lewis Carroll (Paperback)
I bought this book from Colombia. It was shipped perfectly, and the book arrived in great condition. As a book it's everything you could ask for: great illustrations and the complete works. Nice presentation. And you get all of this for such a low price. Very good edition.

Even more beautiful than in the picture. Have already read things of Carroll's I had never seen before.
