Lewis Carroll's classic tales of nonsense and imagination are here brought together in a single volume, featuring the complete tales of young Alice, a girl who dreams of fantastical lands full of talking rabbits, grinning cats, mad hatters and vengeful queens.
An immediate sensation upon its publication, these stories have become two of the most beloved children's stories of all time. Carroll's brilliant and cleverly satiric tales have been adapted countless times, for the stage, the screen and in animated features, and yet...the stories themselves remain the best way to enjoy both of these timeless classics.
Despite his status as an outcast at school, Charles excelled scholastically, particularly in math. He attended Oxford where he received first-class honors in Mathematics and won the Christ Church Mathematical Lectureship upon graduation in 1855, which he held for 26 years.
But Dodgson was also a poet and writer, contributing often to the family magazine Mischmasch, among others. He wrote mostly short, humorous pieces and satire, but with a romantic poem, "Solitude," written under his pen name "Lewis Carroll," he finally received real recognition.
Befriending the new Dean of Christ Church, Henry Liddell, Dodgson grew to know the Liddell children, including the youngest, Alice. For her, he created the fantastical tale of Alice and her adventures "under ground," which was later refined and published as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
After the overwhelming success of the first Alice book, Dodgson published his sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There," which proved to be just as popular. Of his other literary works, his most beloved is the nonsense poem "The Hunting of the Snark."
An inventor, amateur photographer and prolific correspondent, Dodgson died of pneumonia after a bout of influenza on January 14, 1898 and is buried at the Mount Cemetery in Guildford.
