Sylvie And Bruno
''Sylvie and Bruno'', first published in 1889, and its second volume ''Sylvie and Bruno Concluded'' published in 1893, form the last novel by Lewis Carroll published during his lifetime. Both volumes were illustrated by Harry Furniss.

While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll's ''Alice'' books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality. Origin Two short pieces, "Fairy Sylvie" and "Bruno's Revenge", originally appeared in ''Aunt Judy's Magazine'' in 1867. Some years later, in 1873 or 1874, Carroll had the idea to use these as the core for a longer story.
