When the British mathematician, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, began to tell his rambling dream story to a little girl he had no way of calculating its immense influence on generations of English-speaking people of all ages.  Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, issued under the pseudonym of Lewis Carroll, became two great treasures in the world's folklore. They are read with an excited feeling of discovery by each new generation and reread by older people with admiration and affection for two stories enriched by familiarity.  In addition to the two classic tales, this volume contains Lewis Carroll's fanciful The Hunting of the Snark.
