Alice’s
Adventures Everywhere
Alice’s Adventures Underground includes Dodgson’s
sketches, and Alice’s Adventures
in Wonderland includes Sir John Tenniel’s.
Through the Looking Glass contains merely
Dodgson’s wonderful text.
Sylvie
& Bruno
Sylvie & Bruno and Sylvie & Bruno
Concluded were Dodgson’s attempt to go beyond
Alice and create a work of lasting beauty.
Sylvie has been mostly ignored, but I find it a
strange and wonderful story. The religious
commentary remains fresh to this day.
The
Hunting of the Snark
What I tell you three times is true.
Phantasmagoria

Wise Words About
Letter Writing
Writing letters is an art in itself. Carroll
prefers it to be a science. Everything except for that
really weird bit about the ‘Letter Register’
applies quite well to electronic mail. And if you
want to see what Lewis Carroll wrote in his
letters, go to Sara Leonor Bizarro’s Selected
Letters of Lewis Carroll site.
Inventing Wonderland
A book investigating the culture and individuals
that produced some of our best children’s
literature: J.M. Barrie, Lewis Carroll, Edward
Lear, Kenneth Grahame, and A.A. Milne.
That’s Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The
Wind in the Willows, and Winnie the Pooh. I
have not yet read this book, but if you’re
looking for assistance in your paper, book report,
or thesis, I suspect you’ll find this handy.
