I'm not going to comment on all of the stories--some I like a lot, some I only like a little. But two I'll mention specifically -- 'Who Killed Humpty Dumpty' by Mickey Zucker Reichert is one of the best, very Carrollsian. Bruce Holland Rogers gets honorable mention for the poem contained in his story -- The Tiger and the Engineer. Carroll would be proud of it.
All and all, a highly recommended book.
