Review
Although this permanent favorite is in innumerable anthologies, this is the only separate edition prepared especially for a juvenile audience. Mr. Oechsli knows exactly how to draw an uffish expression and catches the demented determination of the hunters in full galumph. It's the best sort of cartooning, with the same care for detail and color that you can find in Bill Peet's books. "...the Snark is at hand...'Tis your glorious duty to seek it." (Kirkus Reviews)

About the Author
Lewis Carroll was the pen-name of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Born in 1832, he was educated at Rugby School and Christ Church, Oxford, where he was appointed lecturer in mathematics in 1855, and where he spent the rest of his life. In 1861 he took deacon's orders, but shyness and a constitutional stammer prevented him from seeking the priesthood. He never married, but was very fond of children and spent much time with them. His most famous works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1872), were originally written for Alice Liddell, the daughter of the dean of his college. Charles Dodgson died of bronchitis in 1898.
