Lewis Carroll crafts a marvelous story from unlikely characters. A plot of wonderful nonsense unfolds in the rhyming, twisted iambs. This story describes "with infinite humor the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature." (Martin Gardner, author of the fascinating "The Annotated Snark")

About the Author:
Lewis Carroll was the pen-name of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Born in 1832, he was educated at Rugby School and Christ Church, Oxford, where he was appointed lecturer in mathematics in 1855, and where he spent the rest of his life. In 1861 he took deacon's orders, but shyness and a constitutional stammer prevented him from seeking the priesthood. He never married, but was very fond of children and spent much time with them. His most famous works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1872), were originally written for Alice Liddell, the daughter of the dean of his college. Charles Dodgson died of bronchitis in 1898.
