“Made me nearly fall off a chair laughing…Gillian Beer’s lovingly, meticulously edited collection – the first ever – of Lewis Carroll’s ‘uproariously dissident’ verse, leaves me seriously happy every time I open it.”
—Ali Smith, Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year
“Opening at random Gillian Beer’s new edition of Lewis Carroll’s poems, Jabberwocky and Other Nonsense, guarantees a pleasurable experience – not all of it nonsensical
—Michael Caines, Times Literary Supplement
This is an elegant volume, likely to delight enthusiasts, while introducing Lewis Carroll’s poetry to a younger readership. The poems are set out chronologically following a generous, thoughtful introduction from the esteemed Cambridge critic Gillian Beer… Beer has done an admirable job, and this edition will appeal to readers of all ages
—Alexandra Lawrie, Times Literary Supplement
