A charming gift for anyone prone to insomnia

‘The dilemma my friends suppose me to be in,’ writes the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, ‘has, for its two horns, the endurance of a sleepless night, and the adoption of some recipe for inducing sleep.’ In this delightful book – the gift for all insomniacs – are collected a splendid variety of entertainments devised to help pass 'the wakeful hours'. Ranging from puzzles, rhymes and limericks to simple number problems and calming calculations; from composing rhymes to planning dreams, here is a feast of intriguing activities guaranteed to keep you entertained as you search for the elusive rabbit-hole of a good night’s sleep.

作者简介

查尔斯·路特维奇·道奇森（Charles Lutwidge Dodgson，1832-1898 年），更广为人知的名字是刘易斯·卡罗尔 (Lewis Carroll)，是一位英国作家、诗人、数学家、插画家、摄影师、发明家和失眠症患者。 他知名的作品是《爱丽丝梦游仙境》（1865 年）及其续集《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》，此外，他还因热爱谜题和文字游戏而闻名，这些娱乐内容出现在《失眠症患者的床边书》中。 1856年，道奇森以这个名字出版了他的作品，当一个名为“孤独”的浪漫诗出现在“刘易斯·卡罗尔”的作者的《火车》上时，这个作品使他名声大噪。 这个笔名是他的真名的一个游戏，翻译成拉丁语为“卡罗尔·卢多维库斯”，然后翻译回英语为“卡罗尔·刘易斯”，倒过来就是“刘易斯·卡罗尔”。

盖尔斯·布兰德雷斯 (Gyles Brandreth) 是一位作家、播音员、表演者、前国会议员和财政部长，现任切斯特大学校长，自从七岁时观看了《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》的制作后，他就一直是刘易斯·卡罗尔的粉丝。 。 20 世纪 70 年代，他为艺人西里尔·弗莱彻 (Cyril Fletcher) 创作了刘易斯·卡罗尔 (Lewis Carroll) 的单人舞台剧和电视剧。 20 世纪 80 年代，他为拼字游戏的制作者设计了爱丽丝梦游仙境棋盘游戏。

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), better known as Lewis Carroll, was an English author, poet, mathematician, illustrator, photographer, inventor and insomniac. Most famous for writing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, he was also noted for his love of puzzles and wordplay – the entertainments that feature in The Insomniac’s Bedside Book. In 1856 Dodgson published his work under the name that would make him famous when a romantic poem called ‘Solitude’ appeared in The Train under the authorship of ‘Lewis Carroll’. The penname was a play on his real name and translated into Latin as ‘Carolus Ludovicus’ and then translated back into English as ‘Carroll Lewis’ and reversed to make ‘Lewis Carroll’. 

Gyles Brandreth is a writer, broadcaster, performer, former MP and Lord Commissioner of the Treasury, now Chancellor of the University of Chester, who has been devotee of Lewis Carroll since he saw a production of Alice Through the Looking-Glass when he was seven. In the 1970s he created a one-man Lewis Carroll stage show and TV series for the entertainer Cyril Fletcher. In the 1980s he devised the Alice in Wonderland board game for the makers of Scrabble.
