description: In 1865, Lewis Carroll turned Victorian children's literature on its head with the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. A quarter of a century later, in Sylvie and Bruno (1889) and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), he did the same for the Victorian novel.Presenting dual plots, the novels describe an attempt by the warden of Outland to usurp the birthright of the fairy children Sylvie and Bruno, and the rivalry of Captain Eric Linden and Dr. Arthur Forester for Lady Muriel Orme, in the English town of Elveston. Adults and children alike will find the legendary Carroll nonsense, whimsy, and charm in these stories--as well as startling techniques not found in the Alice books.
