I found this in a bookstore in Myrtle Beach and was ecstatic. It had "The Hunting of the Snark", which I h ad heard of, but never read, and the Sylvie and Bruno books, which I had never even heard about, with a other stuff that was all bonus.

Sylvie and Bruno are nothing like Alice. They are, frankly, very sweet.

I particularly dug the Sillygisms after I had taken Logic in college, five years later.

I have had to buy a second copy and it is pretty beat up, but I'm not willing for it to be absent from my bookshelf.

I love Alice's adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, so thought I would give some of the rest a try. I just couldn't get into Sylvie and Bruno at all and gave up about 2 chapters into it.

Olen aiemmin lukenut tästä tiiliskivestä vain Alice-tarinat muutamaan kertaan. Nyt ensimmäistä kertaa koko setti. Olipahan urakka! Välillä teki mieli luovuttaa, mutta olen iloinen etten. Runoutta ja tarinoita lapsille ja lastenmielisille. Ja kuvitus tässä editiossa alkuperäinen 1800-luvulta eli aivan huikean hauskaa, hämmentävää ja (pelottavan) outoa nykysilmin katsottuna. Moraliteetteja, opetuksia ja kristillistä henkeä, mikä välillä tökki, mutta menee minulla ajankuvalliseen tyyliin. Osa runoista todella hauskoja ja riemastuttavia kielen leikkejä. ”Alicet” nousivat kuvitusten lisäksi edelleen helmiksi tästä luku-urakasta.
