Sylvie and Bruno

About the book

"Sylvie and Bruno" by Lewis Carroll is a novel published in two volumes in 1889 and 1893. This unusual work weaves together two parallel narratives: a fairy tale set in the fantastical realm of Fairyland, and a social novel unfolding in Victorian Britain. As conspiracy brews in the magical kingdom of Outland against the Warden, a young doctor named Arthur navigates romance and society in the real world. The stories blend Carroll's characteristic nonsense poetry with philosophical discussions of religion, morality, and society.
