Sylvie and Bruno
Lewis Carroll
Book Overview:
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 fairytale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll’s 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.
This book is the first of two volumes and the two intertwining stories are brought to a close in the second volume, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded.

I enjoyed Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, especially as this copy has fantastic replicas of the original drawings. Although the story is so familier, it was nice to actually read it at last. I couldn't get into the Sylvia and Bruno stories at all - I was totally lost after a coupl
I’ve known and devoured the classic books by this author. Wonderland serves as a place of great imagination, unique sensibilities, and absurd and even sometimes quite disturbing characters. I found the stories to be highly readable, very entertaining, and extremely witty. I think his stories stand u
It reminded me of my childhood — I look at it now through a different lens, being able to recognize the darkness my childhood mind could only perceive as “this is a little creepy but I like it”
