A classic republished in 1988. This is Lewis Carroll's (best knows for his Alice in Wonderland) last major work. In his usual style, this tale narrates the bizarre adventures of a 10 year old sister and a 5 year old brother. Modeled on the setting of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Contains a wonderful parable of Carroll's real world of Oxford University.
