Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass and the Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits

A Lewis Carroll Classics Collection (annotated) with a Historical Introduction

By: Lewis Caroll

Narrated by: Jessica Renfro

Unique to this collection is:

• A historical introduction to Lewis Carroll, his work and his life
• A list of recurring themes appearing in Lewis Carroll’s works
• A list of the best famous quotes from his works

You may of course skip all of it and go straight to the titles if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.

Carrol was a complex person who, because of his personality and lifestyle, was not easy to understand. In fact, many scholars believe that he had a split personality. In his public life, he was a shy and reserved Victorian gentleman obsessed with his privacy, but his other face was that of a lovable, imaginative, and creative writer of nonsense stories that both children and adults adored.

There is also another explanation of his personality and that is that the two sides of his nature, ie the Rev Dodgson and Lewis Carroll, were simply two different parts of one personality. It is not uncommon for people who had a happy childhood but for some reason struggle with responsibilities and realities of adulthood, to subconsciously try to recreate the happiness of early years and forget the harsh reality of adulthood by engaging in activities which keep them close to those who remind them of their childhood. Writing for children is certainly one of such activities.

Perhaps this is why the pain of growing up is a recurring theme in his children's books.

The books in this collection include Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, and The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits.

Enjoy these timeless classics!

I loved Jessica Renfro’s performance in this classic tale. Her cadence and pitch matched the scene and she kept me entertained. I have always loved this story, but it has been a while since I last experienced it. This was a fantastic rendition and I highly recommend it.
