Rezensionen

"...informative, enlightening, and highly recommended book, an important addition to the literature for general Carrollian readers as well as academics." --Clare Imholtz, Knight Letter, Lewis Carroll Society of North America

"The opportunity to learn more - to be startled by facts and surprising pieces of information and perception - is exactly what Susina provides us in this capacious, remarkable book that has broad appeal to nonacademics, scholars, and Carroll specialists. It is a text that generates delight, enthusiasm, and wonder." --Dorothy G. Clark, The Lion and the Unicorn

"Highly engaging, it is as well researched as it is, appropriately, curious."
