There are critics who have come to see Lewis Carroll's work as a forerunner of the most advanced trends and schools of writing in the twentieth century. Certainly, Carroll introduced elements of the fantastic and surreal in ways that no other writer had dared. But it is still the enjoyment of a child's-eye view of the adult world that makes these stories so irresistible and unforget-table. They return us, as few tales can, to the whimsy and joy of childhood while also giving us a good laugh at ourselves and the mysterious world we inhabit.
