Of course, Alice is Alice, a timeless masterpiece. The rest of the book is a miscellanea of children rhymes, plain plays on words with awkwardly moralistic aims, and dreamy tales. I enjoyed it, most of all the fairy story "Sylvie and Bruno" with its religious sermons disguised as conversations at the picnic, and with its sugar-sweet fairy children. Only for expert classic readers :) ( ) I found this in a bookstore in Myrtle Beach and was ecstatic. It had "The Hunting of the Snark", which I h ad heard of, but never read, and the Sylvie and Bruno books, which I had never even heard about, with a other stuff that was all bonus. Sylvie and Bruno are nothing like Alice. They are, frankly, very sweet. I particularly dug the Sillygisms after I had taken Logic in college, five years later. I have had to buy a second copy and it is pretty beat up, but I'm not willing for it to be absent from my bookshelf. I've limited myself to reading the parts The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. For no other reason than that after reading those two, I (for now) had had enough of Alice's adventures and all the wondrous creatures, talking and acting strangely. It was a nice book and while reading it, I realized that I had read it (in Dutch) before as a child. Of course I would have, because I've been a book worm my whole life. I just had forgotten about this particular book. It was nice to refresh my memory. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) is famed for his magical stories, Alice in Wonderlandand 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.
