Quotable Alice: From the Works of Lewis Carroll

Rating:
Summary: Handy Little Reference to the Lewis Carroll Books
Review: A nice book which contains the "best & most memorable" of quotes from "Alice in Wonderland" & "Through the Looking Glass." Contains many well reproduced original illustrations by John Tenniel. This book is divided into two main sections, one for each of the above works, but oddly, there's a separate title page for "Through the Looking Glass" on p. 51, but no such page for "Alice in Wonderland." Each quote is accompanied by the book title, chapter, & chapter title from where it came. There's a nice little keyword index to the quotes, but it could be more complete. For instance, if you want to know which quotes are from the Cheshire Cat, you won't find it in the index. The word "cats" is listed in the index, but those listings refer to only the subject matter of the quotes, not their sources, so the index won't help you find quotes by any particular character. A little overpriced at $14.95 for 118 pages in a small dimensioned paperback.
