About the Author
**Please do not combine "Alicia in Terra Mirabili" and "Aliciae Per Speculum Transitus" with the modern-language versions of these books. They fall under the dead language exception to the usual combining of different translations. Thanks!
**Please exercise extreme caution in merging pop-up books with the main work: in most cases, they should not be combined.
**Please do not combine The Annotated Alice with any of the "normal" Alice editions, nor the Annotated Snark with the Hunting of the Snark.
**Please also do not combine The Annotated Alice with The Annotated Alice : The Definitive Edition as the latter contains both The Annotated Alice, More Annotated Alice, and additional material. Thanks!

His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which includes the poem "Jabberwocky", and the poem "The Hunting of the Snark", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense.

I read this book when I first learned to read and will continue to read it as many times as I can!
