About This Book

A varied collection of lyric and narrative poems that alternates reflective meditations on love, loss, solitude, mortality, and religious or martial sacrifice with lighter fairy-lore and whimsical pieces. Several longer ballads dwell on yearning, memory, and grief, while shorter lyrics capture fleeting feeling or playful imagination; the volume mixes reprinted serious verse with newly gathered child-oriented fairy-fancies accompanied by delicate illustrations, exploring how memory, longing, consolation, and fantasy reshape everyday experience.

About the Author

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician, and logician, best known for his whimsical and imaginative tales. His most famous work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published in 1865, has captivated readers with its surreal narrative and playful use of language. Carroll's unique blend of fantasy and logic is also evident in his other writings, such as "Through the Looking-Glass" and "A Tangled Tale." Beyond fiction, he contributed to the fields of mathematics and photography, leaving a lasting impact on both literature and academia. His works continue to inspire adaptations and interpretations across various media.
