Lewis Carroll’s nonsense verse with John Tenniel’s classic illustrations.
Lewis Carroll is famous for his two novels, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Queen Victoria was such a fan that she instructed her bookseller to send her anything he wrote; and was then surprised to receive a mathematical treatise by one Charles Dodgson: Carroll was but a pen-name.
