Product Description:
The Mad Hatter, the Ugly Duchess, the Mock Turtle, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat-characters each more eccentric than the last, and that could only have come from Lewis Carroll, the master of sublime nonsense. In these two brilliant burlesques he created two of the most famous and fantastic novels of all time that not only stirred our imagination but revolutionized literature.
• Featuring the exquisite line drawings created for the original edition

There were several times that I had wanted to stop reading each novel, but persevered only because I wanted to see why these two novels are such beloved classics.
However, I don't understand why these two novels are ... Read More
Rating: - Books that won't let you back in
This marvelous book has become such a part of our culture that it's impossible to separate the phenomenon from the actual work. And perhaps it's folly to even try.
I grew up with a hard backed copy of Alice in Wonderland and remember going through the pages countless times, gazing at the magnificent pictures--especially the Jabberwock--and giggling at the poetry. "Father William" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter" still occupy parts of my brain as snatches and shards that want to pop out ... Read More
