The Complete Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll
- Reading
- Try dipping into one story, poem or puzzle at a time, rather than treating the collection as one continuous narrative; choose together whether to linger over a piece or move on.
- Themes
- Nonsense, wit and imaginative writing: The collection is described as including humorous, witty, whimsical and nonsensical writing, alongside imaginative stories. These qualities identify the style of some included works, but do not establish how any particular idea or action is judged.
- Puzzles and logical writing: The volume includes puzzles, logical writing, acrostics and verses. These forms invite attention to patterns and language, but their content and intended answers are not described.
- Worth knowing
- The collection includes logical puzzles and verse as well as stories, so its style and demands may vary from piece to piece; the difficulty of individual items is unclear.
