Wonderful books for a wonderful priceBy llamapyrLewis Carroll must've been the greatest children's book author of his time. I really admire his writing style and the creativity of his books, having grown up on them since I was 6. I've got a bunch of his novels in hardcover and paperback sitting on my shelves, so it seemed only right to add some digital versions to my library :)Anyway, I came here looking for Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and found this set, and for a mere 99 cents it seemed worth a look. As far as I'm concerned, it was definitely well worth it. In fact, for the quality of the product, I think it's underpriced. The books are organized by publication date in a handy table of contents which makes it easy to navigate and the editing is good too. Overall I'm very satisfied with this anthology.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Gift for my girlfriend but sets proudly on OUR shelf!By kmitch672004This books sits proudly on our bookshelf. She has always been a avid fan of printed books. She detests but understand the need for e-readers (like the Kindle which I personally own). But she has a jones for printed books. If they are in hardcover (like this one) she is gaga over it.This Lewis Carroll's Best Series trust me when I say you have to be in the state of mind to deal with such literature. My girlfriend has been an avid fan of Lewis Carroll's for years and she finally got this copy. I love the gratitude as much as she loves the book.Love 's prompt service and look forward to ordering from them again!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great conditionBy Anna J BakerA cheap hardback version and just what I was looking for! Exactly as advertised and was shipped quickly! I love having all the stories together like this. Don't expect a fantastic cover for the book, it's a cheap hardback, so it's what you pay for, but honestly worth it! Lewis Carroll spells magic! The celebrated author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1872), Charles Lutwidge Dodgson used the pen name Lewis Carroll to weave fanciful stories and poems for an appreciative world audience of children and adults. An English clergyman and mathematician, Dodgson's genius is illustrated by his creation of his pseudonym. He rendered his first two names into Latin and then anglicized them into Lewis Carroll. The first of his parents' 11 children, Carroll quickly became the family entertainer, as magician, puppeteer, and poet.Now in one volume are Carroll's most acclaimed works: The Hunting of the Snark, Tangled Tales, Phantasmagoria, Nonsense from Letters, and certainly, the adventures of Alice. Included, too, are facsimiles of the memorable original illustrations for the Alice books by the eminent English Artist, Sir John Tenniel. Tenniel's drawings won instant renown for their perfect integration with the text. Other illustrations in this richly satisfying collection are by the well known artist, Henry Holiday.This hardcover edition of Best of Lewis Carroll includes over five full Carroll stories and makes a lovely collector's volume for lifelong fans or new readers of Carroll. The acclaimed author was an Oxford scholar, a Church of England Deacon and an academic author and lecturer, and his gift with the English language is apparent in the famous works contained in this collection. This book will become a treasure in your own library. Lewis Carroll spells magic! Young and old will fall under his spell. About the AuthorCharles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was an English mathematician, photographer, and prolific writer, especially known for his beloved books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Preferring the company of children to adults, his Alice books were inspired by his friendship with the young Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, where Carroll was a mathematics instructor.

  • Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
    Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll With 42 Illustrations by John Tenniel All in the golden afternoon Full leisurely we glide ; For both our oars, with little skill, By little arms are plied, While little hands make vain pretence Our wanderings to guide. Ah, cruel Three ! In such an hour, Beneath such dreamy weather, To beg a tale of breath too weak To stir the tiniest feather ! Yet what can one poor voice avail Against three tongues together ? Imperious Prima flashes forth Her edict “ to begin it” : In gentler tones Secunda hopes “ There will be nonsense in it ! ” While Tertia interrupts the tale Not more than once a minute. Anon, to sudden silence won, In fancy they pursue The dream-child moving through a land Of wonders wild and new, In friendly chat with bird or beast— And half believe it true. And ever, as the story drained The wells of fancy dry, And faintly strove that weary one To put the subject by, “ The rest next time—” “ It is next time ! ” The happy voices cry. Thus grew the tale of Wonderland : Thus slowly, one by one, Its quaint events were hammered out— And now the tale is done, And home we steer, a merry crew, Beneath the setting sun. Alice ! A childish story take, And, with a gentle hand, Lay it where Childhood’s dreams are twined In Memory’s mystic band, Like pilgrim’s wither’d wreath of flowers Pluck’d in a far-off land. CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I Down the Rabbit-Hole 7 II The Pool of Tears 14 III A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale 22 IV The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill 29 V Advice from a Caterpillar 38 VI Pig

  • Saki / H.H. Munro 1870-1916 Bios
    Saki / H.H. Munro 1870-1916 Bios http://www.litgothic.com/Authors/saki.html Up to now, little has been known about Hector Hugh Munro except that he used the pen name “Saki”; that he wrote a number of witty short stories, two novels, several plays, and a history of Russia; and that he was killed in World War I. His friend Rothay Reynolds published “A Memoir of H. H. Munro” in Saki’s The Toys of Peace (1919), and Munro’s sister Ethel furnished a brief “Biography of Saki” for a posthumous collection of his work entitled The Square Egg and Other Sketches (1924). A. J. Langguth’s Saki is the first full-length biography of the man who, during his brief writing career, published a succession of bright, satirical, and sometimes perfectly crafted short stories that have entertained and amused readers in many countries for well over a half-century. Hector Munro was the third child of Charles Augustus Munro, a British police officer in Burma, and his wife Mary Frances. The children were all born in Burma. Pregnant with her fourth child, Mrs. Munro was brought with the children to live with her husband’s family in England until the child arrived. Frightened by the charge of a runaway cow on a country lane, Mrs. Munro died after a miscarriage. Since the widowed father had to return to Burma, the children — Charles, Ethel, and Hector — were left with their Munro grandmother and her two dominating and mutually antagonistic spinster daughters, Charlotte (“Aunt Tom”) and Augusta. This situation would years later provide incidents, characters, and themes for a number of Hector Munro’s short stories as well as this epitaph for Augusta by Ethel: “A woman of ungovernable temper, of fierce likes and dislikes, imperious, a moral coward, possessing no brains worth speaking of, and a primitive disposition.

  • In Commemoration of Hector Munro, 'Saki' Transcript
    The grinning shadow that sat at the feast: In commemoration of Hector Munro, 'Saki' Transcript Date: Tuesday, 14 November 2006 - 12:00AM The Grinning Shadow that sat at the Feast: an appreciation of the life and work of Hector Munro 'Saki' Professor Tim Connell Hector Munro was a man of many parts, and although he died relatively young, he lived through a time of considerable change, had a number of quite separate careers and a very broad range of interests. He was also a competent linguist who spoke Russian, German and French. Today is the 90th anniversary of his death in action on the Somme, and I would like to review his importance not only as a writer but also as a figure in his own time. Early years to c.1902 Like so many Victorians, he was born into a family with a long record of colonial service, and it is quite confusing to see how many Hector Munros there are with a military or colonial background. Our Hector’s most famous ancestor is commemorated in a well-known piece at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Tippoo's Tiger shows a man being eaten by a mechanical tiger and the machine emits both roaring and groaning sounds. 1 Hector's grandfather was an Admiral, and his father was in the Burma Police. The family was hit by tragedy when Hector's mother was killed in a bizarre accident involving a runaway cow. It is curious that strange events involving animals should form such a common feature of Hector's writing 2 but this may also derive from his upbringing in the Devonshire countryside and a home that was dominated by the two strangest creatures of all - Aunt Augusta and Aunt Tom.

  • ARTICLE: Jan Susina: Playing Around in Lewis Carroll's Alice Books
    Playing Around in Lewis Carroll’s Alice Books • Jan Susina Mathematician Charles Dodgson’s love of play and his need for rules came together in his use of popular games as part of the structure of the two famous children’s books, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, he wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The author of this article looks at the interplay between the playing of such games as croquet and cards and the characters and events of the novels and argues that, when reading Carroll (who took a playful approach even in his academic texts), it is helpful to understand games and game play. Charles Dodgson, more widely known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, is perhaps one of the more playful authors of children’s literature. In his career, as a children’s author and as an academic logician and mathematician, and in his personal life, Carroll was obsessed with games and with various forms of play. While some readers are surprised by the seemingly split personality of Charles Dodgson, the serious mathematician, and Lewis Carroll, the imaginative author of children’s books, it was his love of play and games and his need to establish rules and guidelines that effectively govern play that unite these two seemingly disparate facets of Carroll’s personality. Carroll’s two best-known children’s books—Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking- Glass and What Alice Found There (1871)—use popular games as part of their structure. In Victoria through the Looking-Glass, Florence Becker Lennon has gone so far as to suggest about Carroll that “his life was a game, even his logic, his mathematics, and his singular ordering of his household and other affairs.

It is a pleasure very near to sadness, bringing tears to one's eyes like a beautiful picture or poem.

  • Christ Church Library, Carroll Collection
    Christ Church Library, Carroll Collection Digitised image notes and captions by Edward Wakeling G10 - The Hunting of the Snark - Printed Proofs of the Illustrations Introductory Notes: Charles L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) began composing the epic poem, The Hunting of the Snark, on 22 July 1874. He tells us that the last line of the last stanza, “For the Snark was a Boojum, you see” came into his head while on a solitary walk over the North Downs near Guildford on 18 July, and the rest was composed, backwards. That night he had helped care for his cousin and godson, Charlie Wilcox, who was dying of consumption. He recorded in his Diaries that he completed the poem of 88 stanzas on 6 November 1875. However, this was not the case – he continued writing stanzas until 17 January 1876, when the poem was complete in 141 stanzas, covering eight cantos, each called a “Fit.” Originally intended for inclusion in another story for children, The Hunting of the Snark became long enough for publication in its own right. Dodgson chose Henry Holiday, artist, sculptor, and stained-glass window designer, as the illustrator of the Snark. The first mention of this arrangement comes in Dodgson’s Diaries on 23 November 1874 when he invited John Ruskin for a talk about the pictures that Holiday had submitted so far. Dodgson recorded that Ruskin, whose advice he valued, “...disheartened me by holding out no hopes that Holiday would be able to illustrate a book satisfactorily.” However, the commission remained and Holiday later reminisced that Dodgson “wrote to me asking if I would design three illustrations to The Hunting of the Snark, in three cantos, of which he sent me the MS.

  • Untangling the Knot
    Untangling the Knot An Analysis of Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark ''A knot!” said Alice. "Oh, do let me help to undo it!"1 “These problems were all called Knots and were told in the form of stories.” Belle Moses, the author of Lewis Carroll In Wonderland And At Home on Carroll’s puzzle and logic books2 In 1872, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote a monograph on The New Belfry of Christ Church, Oxford. He used the pseudonym D. C. L., a rather elementary scrambling of his initials, last name first, for Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge. In a further story in the set, he created himself as a character, Mr. De Ciel, a phonetic sounding out of those same scrambled initials, which had the added appeal of meaning “Of Heaven” in French. “Everything has a moral,” he wrote, as D. C. L., “if you choose to look for it.”3 In this, he was echoing the words he’d put in the mouth of the Duchess in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland years before, which was, “Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.” Years later, he’d have Sylvie of Sylvie and Bruno say, “There generally is a Moral.”4 1 Quotation selected by Carroll to head his appendix of answers to the Knots presented in A Tangled Tale, Carroll, Lewis, 1832-1898. A Tangled Tale. London: Macmillan, 1885, p 77 [“A knot!” said Alice, “Oh, do let me help to undo it!”] 2 Moses, Belle, Lewis Carroll In Wonderland And At Home: the Story of His Life New York: D.

'his friends called him Candle-Ends; and his enemies Toasted-Cheese'By KrasneTigritsaLewis Carroll is awesome! no poet, not even Ogden Nash, is able to plumb the depths of utter ridiculousness the way he can. The Hunting of The Snark, like Jabberwocky, is an artfully random parody of the overly dramatic ballads the Victorian world was so fond of.
