Sylvie and Bruno (Illustrated)

"Sylvie and Bruno" by Lewis Carroll is a story that mixes a make-believe world with real-life problems. It follows Sylvie and Bruno, two very innocent and curious children, through a world that is both magical and thought-provoking. The book switches between a fairy tale and a story that makes you think, looking at love, what it means to be human, and how tricky society can be. The book kicks off with lots of commotion, and the people want lower taxes and more food. Key characters, like a Chancellor who is puzzled by the chaos, watch from a window. Sylvie and Bruno come into play pretty quickly. The children get into some fun situations, with characters such as the Warden and the Other Professor, which helps to set the stage for a fun journey loaded with humor that pokes fun at different parts of society, causing us to consider what these experiences mean.
