About This Book
[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Alice Through the Looking Glass]
The Mad Hatter, the Ugly Duchess, the Mock Turtle, the Queen of Hearts, the
Cheshire Cat-characters each more eccentric than the last, and that could only
have come from Lewis Carroll, the master of sublime nonsense. In these two
brilliant burlesques he created two of the most famous and fantastic novels of
all time that not only stirred our imagination but revolutionized literature.
Featuring the exquisite line drawings created for the original edition.
Conceived by a shy British don on a golden afternoon to entertain ten-year-old
Alice Liddell and her sisters, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the
Looking-Glass have delighted generations of readers in more than eighty
languages. “The clue to the enduring fascination and greatness of the Alice
books,” writes A. S. Byatt in her Introduction, “lies in language. . . . It is
play, and word-play, and its endless intriguing puzzles continue to reveal
themselves long after we have ceased to be children.”
“Only Lewis Carroll has shown us the world upside down as a child sees it, and
has made us laugh as children laugh.” -- Virginia Woolf
