Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

Originally conceived by its author as an entertaining story for Alice Liddell, the daughter of an Oxford dean, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the fantastic tale of the young Alice's encounters with the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts, has captured the imaginations of young and old throughout the world since it was first published in 1865. In addition to the vivid and unforgettable characters, it is the book's experimental style, linguistic inventiveness and myriad of jokes and puzzles that account for the timeless fascination it inspires. Most comprehensive and best-priced edition of the complete Alice stories, the volume was published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland and includes the complete facsimile of Alice's Adventures Under Ground. The earlier manuscript version of the novel will appeal to all fans and collectors of Alice and Carroll's work
