About the author

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.

Reviews

A collection of "must reads" to consider.
I have picked those that I wanted to read and had not already done so.
A great way to discover books and read old favourites.

[Margaret Lamb]

I just bought this along with Volume 1 because it includes so many books that I want to read, and more that I have read and would like to read again. I'm sure I won't read all 50 books, but it was a real bargain from Kobo, so it will be worth the price even if I only end up reading 5 or 10 of them.

What a steal!

Glad I have it a chance, wouldn't have read half these without this collection! I even went back and bought the first volume after reading this one.

[Samantha Markins · Rating 3 out of 5]

Traveling on vacation is an ideal time to bring along a companion of stories in a compilation.

Transcriptional nightmare.

Has a great collection of works but is nearly incomprehensible with the astoundingly abysmal transcription. Words that don't exist, barely any punctuation, garbled translations, no grammatical context whatsoever. As a quick list of what to read it's ok at best. If one intends to actually READ any of these collections, get them from some place else because they are unreadable here.

[Susana · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have only read one book in the collection: Germinal. I was very engaged with the content, but the translation is very poor. Because I speak more than one language, I can get what they mean, but definitely many of the words used were not the appropriate ones; one word that comes to mind because it's used many times is 'without' in place of outside. And like this, many others. It makes you stop and try to make sense of what they want to say.
