Other books by Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll did not only write the Alice books! His work includes other children's books and poetry, but also books about mathematics.
Lewis Carroll's eight-canto nonsense poem, which describes the sea voyage of a bellman, boots (bootblack), bonnet maker, barrister, broker, billiard marker, banker, beaver, baker, and butcher, and their search for the elusive, undefined snark.
While scholars have attributed to the work hidden meanings from political subversion to existential agony, Carroll maintained that it was intended simply as nonsense
An annotated version of the Hunting of the Snark
Carroll's satirical poem; a humorous story of an annoying ghost that is assigned to haunt a new house.
While the owner wishes the ghost would simply leave, the ghost politely informs the man of the many types of spectres and their duties, which include scaring people, making them ill, and causing mysterious disturbances.
Several poems by Lewis Carroll, which include Phantasmagoria, Hiawatha's Photographing, Melancholetta, Size and Tears, The Lang Coortin', and Fame's Penny Trumpet.
Including black and white illustrations by Arthur B. Frost, and a short introduction with letters from Carroll to Frost regarding the art, and to a friend with regards to para-psychological phenomena.
A story that Carroll wrote for children, but was generally considered a failure. Carroll inserted religious aspects and the book is therefore full of morals.
There is a second part of this book, called 'Sylvie and Bruno concluded'.
The second part of "Sylvie and Bruno"
by: Martin Gardner
Lewis Carroll was also famous for his puns, anagrams, acrostics and riddles. In this book, Martin Gardner (the preeminent writer on recreational mathematics of our time) has gathered many of Carroll's inventions, ranging from games such as "arithmetical croquet" to important problems in symbolic logic and propositional calculus.
by: Lewis Carroll, C. L. Dodgson
A combination of two of Carroll's works about problems in recreational mathematics.
42 Games and puzzles by Carroll, including Cakes in a Row, Alice's Multiplication Tables, Looking-Glass Time, Arithmetical Croquet, Four Brothers and a Monkey, Hidden Names, Diverse Doublets, and Mischmasch. Many hints and solutions.

Lewis Carroll produced (in addition to the Alice books and his photographic works) more than 180 booklets, pamphlets, leaflets, and instruction manuals, varying radically in length and subject matter.
This volume concentrates on the work associated with Dodgson's career as an Oxford don.
The pamphlets are presented with background information placing them in context.

Charles L. Dodgson’s publications on political subjects offer a very different view of Lewis Carroll, the man made famous by his “Alice” books. Better known for whimsical and nonsense writings, Dodgson wrote on the entire spectrum of voting theory, applying it to issues of local governance at Christ Church College in the University of Oxford, where he was employed all of his professional life—mainly as Mathematical Lecturer—and to issues of national politics. Yet this work remained largely unknown at his death. This third volume of a planned series of six is a comprehensive account of Dodgson’s publications on voting theory. Francine F. Abeles offers a fresh perspective on his contributions to what was then an embryonic school of politics. Drawing together all of Dodgson’s pamphlets, letters, diary entries, and other pieces on this subject, Abeles traces the development of Dodgson’s theory of voting from its beginnings in his participation in the academic affairs of the University of Oxford to his attempts to influence the outcome of bills before the British Parliament affecting the extension of the voting franchise and the redistribution of seats in the House of Commons. Collected together for the first time, these writings deal with such topics as ranking methods, voting anomalies, sophisticated voting, proportional representation, apportionment, and applications of game theory to voting strategies. Dodgson’s commitment to objectivity and fairness also led him to employ his methods in such sports applications as horse racing wagers and tennis tournament schedules. Each chapter of this book is preceded by an introductory essay providing background information and analyses to assist both the general reader and the specialist. The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll will be of interest to students and scholars of Carroll’s work, to political scientists, historians, and mathematicians, and to readers concerned with Victorian studies.
The author of Alice in Wonderland (and an Oxford professor of mathematics) employs the fanciful format of a play set in Hell to take a hard look at late-19th-century interpretations of Euclidean geometry. Carroll's penetrating observations on geometry are accompanied by ample doses of his famous wit. 1885 edition.
A collection of Carroll's verse, including "Phantasmagoria" and the complete "Hunting of the Snark."
42 intruiging puzzles by Carroll, just like the book "Lewis Carroll's Games and Puzzles".
This edition includes among others Castle Croquet, A Sticky but Polished Riddle, Who's Coming to Dinner?, A New Way to Pay Old Debts, Eligible Apartments, Predicting the Total, and more.
Don't let the title of the first work mislead you - this isn't about modern symbolic logic but about ways of expressing classical logic with symbols. It's loaded with amusing problems to delight any mathematical puzzler.
In the second work, Carroll turns logic into a game played with diagrams and colored counters, giving you hundreds of challenging and witty syllogisms to solve.
Originally these books were intended for children.
by: Lewis Carroll
The second volume in a series collecting the pamphlets of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) together. This set is devoted to the work associated with Dodgson's career as a mathematical lecturer of Christ Church, Oxford. Much of the material is referenced here for the first time.
Includes poems and nonsense verses that appear in "Alice in Wonderland" and other works of the author.
Several letters Carroll wrote to his child-friends, together with "Eight Or Nine Wise Words About Letter-Writing".
This book contains almost every poem that Carroll ever wrote.
