Lewis Carroll's Guide for Insomniacs Summary

Lewis Carroll's Guide for Insomniacs by Lewis Carroll

A charming gift for anyone prone to insomnia

‘The dilemma my friends suppose me to be in,’ writes the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, ‘has, for its two horns, the endurance of a sleepless night, and the adoption of some recipe for inducing sleep.’ In this delightful book – the perfect gift for all insomniacs – are collected a splendid variety of entertainments devised to help pass 'the wakeful hours'. Ranging from puzzles, rhymes and limericks to simple number problems and calming calculations; from composing rhymes to planning dreams, here is a feast of intriguing activities guaranteed to keep you entertained as you search for the elusive rabbit-hole of a good night’s sleep.

Lewis Carroll's Guide for Insomniacs Reviews

‘Brandreth’s arrangement of Carroll’s musings, drawn from several of his published works, is charmingly formulated to pierce the darkness: “Whatever the horrors of the night, day always comes.” It’s a thoughtful gift for clever night owls.’

* Publisher’s Weekly *

About Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll (1832–1898), whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English author, poet, mathematician, illustrator, photographer, inventor and insomniac. Most famous for writing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), he was also noted for his love of puzzles and wordplay.

Gyles Brandreth is a writer, broadcaster, performer and former MP who has been a devotee of Lewis Carroll since the age of seven. He created a one-man Lewis Carroll stage show, devised the Alice in Wonderland board game and, with Sue Pearse, he wrote the musical Wonderland. In 2023, with descendants of the Dodgson family, he unveiled a plaque at Folly Bridge in Oxford commemorating the 1862 boat trip when the story of Alice’s adventures was first told.
