A Tangled Tale is a collection of ten brief humorous stories by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), published serially between April 1880 and March 1885 in The Monthly Packet magazine. Arthur B. Frost added illustrations when the series was printed in book form. The stories, or Knots as Carroll calls them, present mathematical problems. In a later issue, Carroll gives the solution to a Knot and discusses readers answers. The mathematical interpretations of the Knots are not always straightforward. The ribbing of readers answering wrongly - giving their names - was not always well received. (from wikipedia)
This poem, also called "Phantasmagoria" is a narrative discussion written in seven cantos between a ghost (a Phantom) and a man named Tibbets. Carroll portrays the ghost as not so different from human beings: although ghosts may jibber and jangle their chains, they, like us, simply have a job to do and that job is to haunt. Just as in our society, in ghost society there is a hierarchy, and ghosts are answerable to the King (who must be addressed as "Your Royal Whiteness") if they disregard the "Maxims of Behaviour".

In "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," Lewis Carroll invites readers into a fantastical realm, continuing the adventures of Alice with a narrative that defies conventional logic and chronological order. This sequel retains CarrollAos whimsical literary style, employing playful language, paradox, and intricate wordplay, all while introducing a rich tableau of characters and settings. The narrative unfolds as a chess-themed allegory, where each chapter mirrors the movement of chess pieces, enhancing the texts complexity and inviting various interpretations concerning identity and agency amidst the nonsensical backdrop. Lewis Carroll, a pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an Oxford mathematician and logician whose creative genius bound together a deep understanding of language with a fascination for the absurd. His unique perspective, shaped by his experiences in Victorian England and his love for childrenAos literature, is evident in the innovative structure of this work. Carrolls exploration of the fantastical reflects both his mathematical inclinations and his insightful observations on the nature of childhood, reality, and imagination. For readers enamored with literary whimsy and philosophical puzzles, "Through the Looking-Glass" is a must-read. It captivates the imagination and challenges perceptions, offering layers of meaning that resonate with both children and adults. Carrolls masterful storytelling and inventive use of language beckon new audiences to experience the enchanting and thought-provoking world of Alice once more.

Sylvie and Bruno, first published in 1889, and its second volume Sylvie and Bruno Concluded published in 1893, form the last novel by Lewis Carroll published during his lifetime. Both volumes were illustrated by Harry Furniss.The novel has two main plots: one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carrolls Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality.

Alices Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures.The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgsons friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre.
Alices Adventures Under Ground: Illustrated by Lewis Carroll, 1886. Based on the handwritten pages from Alices Adventures Under Ground, illustrated by Lewis Carroll. Lewis Carrolls first appearance of Alices Adventures in Wonderland was a much shorter work titled Alices Adventures Under Ground. Although the final product is well known for John Tenniels memorable illustrations, Carroll himself illustrated his original manuscript. In fact, many of Tenniels illustrations were actually based on Carrolls own. Carroll gave the original, handwritten manuscript to Alice Liddell, the girl for whom his heroine was named.
