In this volume, author, editor, musical humorist and long-time Alice fan David W. Barber brings together some of the best and most memorable of Carroll's expressions from the Alice stories, together with an index for easy reference. The text is complemented by a selection of the illustrations that John Tenniel created for the original editions.
