One Fun Day with Lewis Carroll: A Celebration of Wordplay and a Girl Named Alice

By Kathleen Krull

Book Overview

The wordsmith Lewis Carroll is famed for the freewheeling world of Wonderland in his beloved classics Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. In this gloriously illustrated picture book, Carroll's childlike love of life is showcased alongside his brilliance at creating and adapting playful words and phrases.
