About this ebook
Sylvie and Bruno, first published in 1889, and its second volume Sylvie and Bruno Concluded published in 1893, form the last novel by Lewis Carroll published during his lifetime. The novel has two main plots: one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll's Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality.

About the author
Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, England, was a man of multifaceted talents—mathematician, logician, photographer, and author. Carroll's literary genius is most famously encapsulated in his whimsical and fantastical works that have captivated audiences for generations. His unique ability to blend logic and fantasy set him apart in Victorian literature, making his works timeless classics.Educated at Christ Church, Oxford, Carroll excelled in mathematics, eventually becoming a lecturer at the college. His academic prowess was matched by his innovative approach to storytelling, which often incorporated elements of his mathematical background. This blend of disciplines intrigued contemporary and modern readers alike, offering a rich tapestry of intellectual and imaginative exploration.Carroll's life was not without controversy. His close relationships with young girls, particularly Alice Liddell, the inspiration for his most famous character, have been the subject of much speculation and debate. While no conclusive evidence suggests impropriety, these relationships have cast a complex shadow over his legacy.Influencing a myriad of writers, from James Joyce to J.K. Rowling, Carroll's impact on literature is profound. His revolutionary ideas about narrative structure, language play, and the boundaries of reality and imagination continue to inspire and challenge writers and readers. Carroll's works remain a testament to the power of creativity and the enduring allure of the fantastical.
