A thoroughly delightful and idiosyncratic publication edited by British poet, artist, and Carroll enthusiast, Trevor Winkfield.
Described as "An occasional publication of hitherto scarce, unpublished or 'lost' Carrolliana," the series contains a potpourri of Carroll's word and number games, poetry, letters, musings, and other toothsome tidbits. These were the only two issues Winkfield ever published (in an edition of 60 copies each), making them quite hard to find on the market. (1021)
