Enter the enchanting world of Oaktree Wood and follow the adventures of Spindle the Hedgehog, Rusty the Rabbit, Mandy the Woodmouse, Vicky the Fox, and all their friends as they work, play, and help each other.
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
