November 18, 2015 at the Boston Athenæum. The Athenæum is an ideal setting for the scholar in that it boasts a robust collection, reference services, and a serene environment for study. Indeed, Christopher Morgan researched the subject for his book, “Alice in Wonderland and Lewis Carroll's Games and Puzzles: The Surprising Connection”, within our walls! 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland”. To celebrate the event, puzzle designer and Lewis Carroll collector Christopher Morgan will take us down the rabbit hole to discuss Carroll's little-known game and puzzle pamphlets, now gathered together for the first time in his new book, “The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll: Games, Puzzles, and Related Pieces”. Morgan will discuss the surprising connections between Carroll's charming game and puzzle inventions and his books, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass”. Also included are Carroll’s word game columns from the British magazines Vanity
