Lewis Carroll - Lewis Carroll

With fantastic characters and enchanting, rhythmic and sometimes nonsense language, Lewis Carroll created magical wonderlands.

In his world, many things appear upside down and inside out, the rules of logic just don't apply, and everything pompous gets cut down to size.

No surprise then that children love to visit this world sliding down the rabbit hole with Alice, battling the dreaded Jabberwock, or hunting for the mythical Snark.

Carroll's classic works have never lost their fascination and this selection of 26, with Eric Copeland's savagely funny paintings that bring his fantastic realms to life, will become favourites with young readers: Father William; Humpty Dumpty's Song; Tweedledum and Tweedledee; Mock Turtle's song (early and final versions); Jabberwocky; Dreamland Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat; A Bat Beneath A Sunny Sky; Horros The Mad Gardener's Song; The White Queen's Song; A Sea Dirge The Walrus & The Carpenter; The White Rabbit's Evidence; Imaginative word images, classic poems, marvellous illustrations and helpful commentary.

Plus biographical info. on this great British writer. In full colour: with 33 specially commissioned paintings by East Anglian-born watercolourist Eric Copeland.
