I had already downloaded several free Carroll volumes when I found this. I'll have to put them "back on the shelf." I have a small collection of hard cover Carroll, both his works and analysis, but I wanted some of the nonsense on Kindle for portability. I was not planing to spend any money; however, I couldn't resist this collection for a very reasonable sum. I never expected to get the original illustrations or any commentary. It would be lovely if the illustrations were larger, but it seems churlish to say so.I have not read every word, but the notes look helpful and entertaining. The formatting is attractive and the Table of Contents takes you directly to the sections. I shall spend many happy hours underground, beyond the looking glass and hunting for that darn old snark ~ assuming I survive the jabberwock!!! Come gyer and gimble. If the slithy toves can, so can we.Wow, I just found a good use for X-Ray. You can find the commentary relevant to all the characters and significant scenes.Nothing can better pass the time sitting and waiting, especially in the dentist's office. Ygh! If you don't enjoy the Alice books, you are much too grown up for me.
