Need a good laugh? This obscure work by Carrollian author and illustrator Byron W. Sewell is an out-rageous comic parody of one of Lewis Carroll’s stranger and lesser-known works, The Nursery Alice . It purports to be the recently discovered (in Dead Deer, Alberta, Canada) precursor of the actual work that was written by Carroll to be read by children nought to five years old . It seems likely that this is the first (and perhaps will be the final) time that anyone has done this. While Sewell is at it, he claims that Carroll was the inventor of the iconic happy face , which explains Sewell’s quirky illustra-tions of Carroll’s famous Wonder-land characters. It also demonstrates just how ridiculous and untenable some recent theories about Carroll’s life and friendships are. A very funny book indeed.
