Lewis Carroll Works; 4 Volume Set

6C Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1928), Through the Looking Glass (1929), Phantasmagoria (1919), The Hunting of the Snark (1928). 

Notes

Lewis Carroll’s four notable works—Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), Through the Looking-Glass (1871), The Hunting of the Snark (1876), and Phantasmagoria and Other Poems (1869)—highlight his playful imagination, love of language, and fascination with absurdity. The two Alice books follow the adventures of Alice in fantastical worlds where logic is twisted, riddles abound, and whimsical characters challenge her perception of reality. The Hunting of the Snark is a nonsense poem chronicling a surreal quest for a mysterious creature, blending humor with Carroll’s signature wordplay. Phantasmagoria, a collection of poems, explores supernatural and ghostly themes with a macabre, yet witty tone, showing a darker, more satirical side of his writing. Together, these works illustrate Carroll’s range—from enchanting children’s fantasy to inventive nonsense verse and clever literary play.
