Works by Lewis Carroll.

SYLVIE AND BRUNO. First Part.

With forty-six Illustrations by Harry Furniss. 12mo, cloth extra, gilt, $1.50.

“A charming book for children. The illustrations are very happy.”—Boston Traveller.

“Alice was a delightful little girl, but hardly more pleasing than are the hero and heroine of this latest book from a writer in whose nonsense there is far more sense than in the serious works of many contemporary authors.”—Morning Post.

“Mr. Furniss’s illustrations, which are numerous, are at once graceful and full of humor. We pay him a high compliment when we say he proves himself a worthy successor to Mr. Tenniel in illustrating Mr. Lewis Carroll’s books.”—St. James’s Gazette.

“Bruno and Sylvie are wholly delightful creations, the Professor is worthy to rank with the immortal Pickwick, and there is an endless fund of enjoyment in the Gardener and his wonderful songs.... The pictures by Harry Furniss are incomparably good.”—Boston Beacon.

“Sylvie and Bruno is characterized by his peculiar and whimsical humor, his extravagant conceits, and the grotesqueness and inconsistency of plot, characters, and incidents in his stories.... It is a charming piece of work.”—New York Sun.

ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND.

One Hundredth Thousand. With forty-two Illustrations by Tenniel. 12mo, cloth, gilt, $1.00.
Also a German Translation. 12mo, $2.00.
A French Translation. 12mo, $2.00.
An Italian Translation. 12mo, $2.00.

“An excellent piece of nonsense.”—Times.

“That most delightful of children’s stories.”—Saturday Review.

“That delectable and truly imaginative work.”—New York Sun.

“Probably no other book has ever filled just the place that Alice in Wonderland has held in the hearts of children and grown people during the last twenty years.”—Every Thursday.

“Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass are known wherever the English tongue is spoken. They are classics of their kind and could in no wise be improved upon.”—St. Louis Republic.

“Alice in Wonderland is the most delightful imaginative composition of late years for boys and girls.”—The Boston Globe.

“Love for children and keen sympathy with them in the delightfully primitive views they take of life is one of the distinctive characteristics of Lewis Carroll.”—The Churchman.

THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE.

Sixtieth Thousand. With fifty Illustrations by Tenniel. 12mo, cloth, gilt, $1.00.

“Will fairly rank with the tale of her previous experience.”—Daily Telegraph.

“Many of Mr. Tenniel’s designs are masterpieces of wise absurdity.”—Athenæum.

“Whether as regarding author or illustrator, this book is a jewel rarely to be found nowadays.”—Echo.

ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE.

With all the Illustrations. Printed in one volume, on thinner paper, cloth, $1.25.

“We know of no books in the whole range of juvenile literature so full of genuine and boundless fun as these.”—Boston Evening Transcript.

THE NURSERY ALICE.

Containing twenty colored enlargements from Tenniel’s Illustrations to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, with text adapted to Nursery Readers by Lewis Carroll. 4to, colored cover, $1.50.

“Let the little people rejoice!—the most charming book in the world has appeared for them. The Nursery Alice, with its wealth of colored illustrations from Tenniel’s pictures, is certainly the most artistic juvenile that has been seen for many and many a day.”—Boston Budget.

“This is a charming book, both in pictures and in text, for the little ones of the nursery. It is a sort of miniature of Alice in Wonderland, and will no doubt have a circulation and become as great a favorite among the wee ones as the larger volume has among the older children.”—Christian at Work.

ALICE’S ADVENTURES UNDER GROUND.

Being a Fac-simile of the original MS. Book afterward developed into Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. With twenty-seven Illustrations. 12mo, $1.50.

THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK.

An Agony in Eight Fits. With nine Illustrations by Henry Holiday. New Edition. Cloth, gilt, $1.00.

“This is a very pretty edition of the verses which should have made their author famous, even if he had never written Alice in Wonderland. The Snark, like the Jabberwock, for some reason or other, has no place in the natural histories, yet it is a very charming creature. The book contains nine quaint illustrations by Henry Holiday.”—America.

RHYME? AND REASON?

With sixty-five Illustrations by Arthur B. Frost and nine by Henry Holiday. 12mo, $1.50.

This book is a reprint, with additions, of the comic portions of Phantasmagoria, and other Poems, and of The Hunting of the Snark.

“Rhyme? and Reason? by Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland shows the same quaintness of fancy and the same originality of humor that mark his prose works. The versification is smooth and flowing, and the rhyming exceedingly ingenious.”—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.

“Rhyme? and Reason? with its clever illustrations, will be sure of great popularity.”—Philadelphia Press.

A TANGLED TALE.

Reprinted from the Monthly Packet. With Illustrations. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

“To people mathematically inclined, who are fond of odd style and odd illustrations, and who like to travel so many (Gordian) knots an hour, Mr. Lewis Carroll’s new ‘wonderland’—A Tangled Tale—will prove a delightful treat.”—The Critic.

THE GAME OF LOGIC.

With an Envelope containing a Card Diagram and Nine Counters—four
red and five gray. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.

THE SET, TEN VOLUMES, IN BOX, $10.00.

“It seems to me not at all easier to draw a lifelike child than to draw a lifelike man or woman: Shakespeare and Webster were the only two men of their age who could do it with perfect delicacy and success; at least, it there was another who could, I must crave pardon of his happy memory for my forgetfulness or ignorance of his name. Our own age is more fortunate, on this single score at least, having a larger and far nobler proportion of female writers; among whom, since the death of George Eliot, there is none left whose touch is so exquisite and masterly, whose love is so thoroughly according to knowledge, whose bright and sweet invention is so fruitful, so truthful, or so delightful as Mrs. Molesworth’s. Any chapter of The Cuckoo Clock or the enchanting Adventures of Herr Baby is worth a shoal of the very best novels dealing with the characters and fortunes of mere adults.”—Mrs. A. C. Swinburne, in The Nineteenth Century.
