I'm not sure how useful the bare source code will be, as it was meant to go with the book, but it's a fine book that covers the basics of implementing Lisp in a lower-level language, including garbage collection, etc. (That's not the focus of the book, which is programming languages in general, but it is covered.)</p> <p><em>Lisp in Small Pieces</em> goes into more depth, but that's both good and bad for your case. There's a lot of material on compiling and such that won't be relevant to you, and its simpler interpreters are in Scheme, not C++.</p> <p>SICP is good, definitely. Not overkill, but of course writing interpreters is only a small fraction of the book.</p> <p>The JScheme suggestion is a good one, too (and it incorporates some code by me), but won't help you with things like GC. </p> <p>I might flesh this out with more suggestions later.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> A few people have said they learned from my <a href="http://github.com/darius/awklisp/tree/master/awklisp" rel="noreferrer">awklisp</a>. This is admittedly kind of a weird suggestion, but it's very small, readable, actually usable, and unlike other tiny-yet-readable toy Lisps it implements its own garbage collector and data representation instead of relying on an underlying high-level implementation language to provide them.</p>
