With the 'Alice' books the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (alias Lewis Carroll) produced two of the most popular children's books of all time - and the ones most widely quoted by adults. Only he could have written them, for only he combined professional expertise in philosophy and mathematics with rare humour and love of children. The Sayings in this volume illustrate both the sublime, joyous wit and the serious side of one of the great Victorian eccentrics.
