The Humorous Verse of Lewis Carroll by Lewis Carroll

The Humorous Verse of Lewis Carroll by Lewis Carroll

The editors have performed a task for addicts will be grateful. There is nothing for the faithful to do but to sit down and fall to the banquet. -- The New York Times
This is the largest collection of Lewis Carroll's verse ever compiled. It contains almost every poem that Carroll ever wrote. It includes every prose appearing in his books published during his life, privately printed poems, ephemera, poems from manuscripts found among his papers, and from The Rectory Magazine, Collingwood's Lewis Carroll Picture Book, Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll, and rare 19th century periodicals. This is the only place of publication for much of this verse.
This volume contains 150 different poems, offering perhaps the finest whimsy ever written. There are parodies, burlesques, riddles, whimsies, ballads, songs (one with Carroll's own music), extravaganzas, acrostics, and other types, including several of his serious poems. Many poems are annotated to explain contemporary allusions, and this edition retains 130 original illustrations by Tenniel, Frost, Holiday, Furniss, and Carroll himself.
