The Complete Illustrated Works (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Alice's Adventures Under Ground / Hunting of the Snark / Rhyme? and Reason? / Sylvie and Bruno / Sylvie and Bruno Concluded / Tangled Tale / Three Sunsets / Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There)

This omnibus edition, published by Gramercy Books in 1982, serves as a comprehensive anthology of the literary output of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll. It draws together his seminal Alice works, including the original Under Ground manuscript, alongside his later experimental narratives like Sylvie and Bruno and his collections of whimsical verse. The volume was produced during a period of renewed academic and popular interest in Victorian children's literature, designed to offer readers a singular, accessible reference point for Carroll's entire creative bibliography.

The collection is anchored by the iconic original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, whose visual interpretations of Alice have become inextricably linked to the text since their mid-19th-century inception. Tenniel’s distinct style, characterized by clean lines and subtle surrealism, was developed in close collaboration with Carroll to ensure the drawings reflected the internal logic of the dreamscapes. While Gramercy Books packaged these works for a modern general audience, the inclusion of the complete original art ensures the preservation of the specific aesthetic atmosphere that defined the initial publication of these stories during the Victorian era.
