Humorous Verse of Lewis Carroll (Dover Classics for Children)

Rating:
Summary: Goblins, and fairies and snarks, oh my!!
Review: For those who think verse is boring and effete, take these Lewis Carroll treasures and discover a true joy of poetry! Magical, innocent, and just plain strange, Carroll brings out the wonder of the imagination through jaunty verse. He also wrote some beautiful and not-widely-known love poems. This is one for the bookshelf in all our hearts

Rating:
Summary: This is verse you want to learn by heart!
Review: I don't know why but you really want to learn this stuff by heart so you can recite it to yourself in odd moments. Some of it is incredibly witty and it bounds along in a very good rhythm. The poems are quite different from each other and reflect Lewis Carroll's many moods. He must have been a complex and interesting person, as well as an amusing one.
