Lewis Carroll, Roy Gasson (edit. and introd.). — The Illustrated Lewis Carroll.

Poole / Dorset New Orchard Editions 1978 Bound, cloth with original dustjacket, 333pp., 17.5x25.5cm., illustr. in b/w., in good condition (dustjacket and binding with some use, inside very good). This illustrated collection brings together major works by Lewis Carroll, the English writer and mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898). It includes the complete texts of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, followed by the nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark. A selection of shorter works completes the volume, including The Mad Gardener's Song, Hiawatha's Photographing, Eligible Apartments and A Photographer's Day Out. The edition follows the texts of the 1897 editions of the two Alice books, incorporating Carroll's final corrections and amendments, with minor modernisations of spelling and punctuation. Roy Gasson's introduction places the works in context, while the illustrations enhance this collection of Carroll's imaginative, humorous and linguistically inventive writing.
