This is quite difficult get hold of. It was expertly illustrated by AB Frost whose illustartion surpass those of Tenniels for the Alice stories and those for Sylive and Bruno. It's a collection of first class poetry in the surreal nature of Edward Lear and Spike Milligan but with that same strangeness that Lewis Carrol is noted for and in the same vein as the classic The Hunting Of The Snark. A version is available on Amazon within a Complete illustrated works edition but unfortunately it is not as complete as it claims and the illustrations are missing for A Tangled Tale. AB Frost is not mentioned in their summary so I took a gamble and bought it to replace my original copy which has vanished like Boojum. If you've not come across this title before then I reccomend the Amazon version, it will blow your mind but I wouldn't reccomend trying to get hold of a copy without Frosts illustrations as they are genius within their own right. Frost doesn't get the credit that he is due and his work is difficult to get hold of online, which is a shame as for me he is the king of the genre. Carrol is a genius too but then you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't already know that. Right, I must go and feed my popinjay!
