Carroll's stories will have writers pondering right along with Alice: "Life, what is it but a dream?" Witty, whimsical, and often nonsensical, the fiction of Lewis Carroll takes readers on a trip down the rabbit hole. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, height is dynamic, caterpillars dole out advice, and a Queen of Hearts playing card orders executions as she plays croquet. Through the Looking-Glass continues the adventure when Alice steps through a mirror into another magical world where she can become queen if she can only get to the other side of a colossal chessboard. Nothing sets the mood for penning a new story like the comfort of stories that have transcended time and culture.
With the entire novel in tiny print serving as lines on the journal pages, the words of this talented Irish author serve as inspiration for daily thoughts or the next ghoulish best-seller. Packaged in a luxurious heat-burnished cover with frightfully illustrated endpapers and a colored elastic band to close pages tight, this book is a great gift or collectible.
