It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre.

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children''s literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), generally categorized as literary nonsense. It is the sequel to Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice''s birthday (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.

Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated The Hunting Of The Snark by Lewis Carroll The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits) is typically categorized as a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Written from 1874 to 1876, the poem borrows the setting, some creatures, and eight portmanteau words from Carroll''s earlier poem "Jabberwocky" in his children''s novel Through the Looking Glass (1871). Henry Holiday, the illustrator of the poem, thought of it as a "tragedy". The plot follows a crew of ten trying to hunt the Snark, an animal which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. The only one of the crew to find the Snark quickly vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that it was a Boojum after all. The poem is dedicated to young Gertrude Chataway, whom Carroll met at the English seaside town Sandown in the Isle of Wight in 1875. Included with many copies of the first edition of the poem was Carroll''s religious tract, An Easter Greeting to Every Child Who Loves "Alice".

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Daresbury, Cheshire, United Kingdom, January 27, 1832-Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom, January 14, 1898), better known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an Anglican, logical, mathematical, photographer and deacon British writer.In 1856 he published his first work with the pseudonym that would make him famous: a predictable romantic poem, "Solitude", which appeared in The Train signed by Lewis Carroll. The nickname was created from the latinization of his name and the surname of his mother, Charles Lutwidge. Lutwidge was Latinized as Ludovicus, and Charles as Carolus. The resultant, Ludovicus Carolus, returned again to the English language as Lewis Carroll."One of the secrets of life is that what is really worth it is what we do for the rest." Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
