The Complete Stories and Poems

... Show More
This commemorative oversized volume of the complete collection of stories and poems of Lewis Carol showcases his ingenious use of word play, inverted logic and satire. Lewis Carroll was the pen name and, it could be claimed, the alter ego of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematician, writer and photographer. His creations, especially Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There , have been translated into countless languages and are as loved now as they have ever been. His neologisms ("curiouser and curiouser") and turns of phrase have forever infiltrated and enriched our language and culture.

About the author

... Show More
The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.

His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense.

Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.

He also has works published under his real name.

So far, I truly love this!

It has become a precious possession for me. I have this special habit of saving it specifically for those rainy days.

On such gloomy and wet days, when the raindrops are gently tapping on the windowpanes, I would cozy up in a comfortable corner, with a warm cup of coffee beside me.

Then, I would take out this wonderful thing and start reading.

The words seem to come alive in the midst of the rainy atmosphere, transporting me to different worlds and experiences.

It's like a magical escape from the dullness of the rainy day, bringing me joy, inspiration, and a sense of tranquility.

I look forward to those rainy days just so that I can have this wonderful reading time with it.

Puns are a wonderful and abundant form of wordplay that can add humor, depth, and creativity to our language.

They play on the multiple meanings of words, creating a clever and often unexpected connection.

For example, the phrase "I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough" is a pun that uses the double meaning of "dough" as both money and the mixture used to make bread.

Puns can be found in literature, advertising, jokes, and everyday conversations.

They have the power to make us laugh, think, and appreciate the flexibility and richness of language.

Whether it's a simple play on words or a more complex and elaborate construction, puns are a great way to add some fun and sparkle to our communication.

So, the next time you come across a pun, take a moment to appreciate its cleverness and enjoy the smile it brings to your face.
