The collection chronicles the full breadth of Carroll's genius, from the anarchic, dream-drenched adventures of Alice Liddell tumbling down rabbit holes and stepping through looking-glasses, to his sharp nonsense verse, mathematical puzzles, and lesser-known prose — all rendered vivid by Tenniel's celebrated Victorian artistry.\n\nCarroll's writing occupies a singular position in world literature, simultaneously charming children and confounding philosophers, its surface whimsy concealing layers of linguistic subversion, satirical wit, and proto-surrealist logic that would go on to inspire generations of writers, artists, and thinkers from the Surrealists to Jorge Luis Borges. Tenniel's drawings, reproduced here in their original detail, are not mere decoration but a co-authorship — a visual grammar that anchors Carroll's most untameable flights of fancy to an era while keeping them timelessly strange. Whether encountered for the first time or revisited after decades, the question Carroll leaves every reader with remains the same: what, precisely, is real, and what is only a dream?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203391103195,"sku":"2026200013594-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b15ec706-26cf-422f-bc30-998c4002711d.png?v=1788148320","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013594-secondhand-the-complete-works-with-tenniels-drawings","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
