Testo originale a fronte. La storia di Rip van Winkle è ambientata immediatamente prima (intorno al 1770) e dopo la rivoluzione americana (intorno al 1790). Rip van Winkle, un abitante di origine olandese, vive in un bel villaggio ai piedi delle Catskill Mountains di New York. Essendo affabile, è amato da tutti tranne che dalla moglie. Infatti, oltre ad essere affabile, è anche pigro e così trascura la sua casa e la sua fattoria. Un giorno d'autunno, scappa dai continui rimproveri della moglie, fuggendo sulle montagne. Dopo aver incontrato degli uomini vestiti in maniera strana - che si dice siano i fantasmi dell'equipaggio di Henry Hudson, che giocano a nine-pins, e dopo aver bevuto dei loro superalcolici - si siede a terra sotto un albero ombroso, addormentandosi profondamente. Dopo vent'anni, Rip si sveglia e ritorna nel suo villaggio, inconsapevole di quanto abbia dormito. Giunto a casa, scopre che la moglie è morta e che i suoi amici più vicini sono morti in guerra o partiti via dal paese...

This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass, with illustrations by the author. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit are all now familiar figures in writing, conversation and idiom. So too, are the delightful verses such as The Walrus and the Carpenter and the inspired jargon of that masterly Wordsworthian parody the Jabberwocky. Also included are some of Carroll's miscellaneous pieces of work, of which the best-known is perhaps the mock-heroic Hunting of the Snark which epitomises the author's enormous gift for nonsense verse. --back cover

From the Preface by Alfred W. Pollard: "There is much repetition in the Morte d'Arthur as Malory left it. How often Sir Breuse sans Pitie played his ugly tricks, or Tristram rescued Palomides, or minor knights met at adventure and emulated their betters, it is not easy to count. I have tried to clear away some of the underwoods that the great trees may be better seen, and though I know that I have cleared away some small timber that is fine stuff in itself, if the great trees stand out the better, the experiment may be forgiven. In attempting it I have introduced, I think, not more than a hundred words of my own, but in certain places I have taken over the readings devised half a century ago for the well-known Globe edition by Sir Edward Strachey, which has justified itself by passing through some twenty editions, and has probably brought Malory more readers than all other texts put together."
