"This new edition includes a rich array of Lewis Carroll's marvelous writings, including personal letters and other important background material. A really splendid edition for teaching."

"Donald Gray's fourth edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland collects a fresh assortment of critical essays that will shed new light on the Alice books and The Hunting of the Snark. Organized around different periods in Charles Dodgson's life, the backgrounds will enable students, scholars, and readers to place these beloved texts in their proper contexts. A crisp new edition."
