About the book >.>.> Although best known for the ?Alice? Books this Oxford mathematician was also a genius of nonsense verse. In ?Phantasmagoria? a man learns the secrets of supernatural bureaucracy. In ?Hiawatha?s Photographing? a delicious spoof of Longfellow?s poem the Indian chief lines his family up for a picture. ?The Hunting of the Snark? is one of Carroll?s greatest achievements ? a magically silly tale of adventure and terror. Carroll?s nonsense is ingeniously funny and includes mock epics limericks riddles and wordplay. (SP)
