Alice's Adventures In Wonderland And Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll's Alice has been enchanting children for over 150 years. Head strong Alice, the impatient White Rabbit, the fearsome Queen of Hearts and the hilarious Mad Hatter are among the best loved literary creations. This beautiful collectable illustrated edition has the original illustrations and is cloth bound.
Alice in Wonderland is one of the top 25 books of all timeI always loved the book and I always loved the various characters, the psychedelic nature of it and kind-of odd allegorical stories inside stories. I always thought it was beautiful. * Johnny Depp *
Wonderland and the world through the Looking Glass were, I always knew, different from other imagined worlds. Nothing could be changed, although things in the story were always changing...Carroll moves his readers as he moves chess pieces and playing cards. -- A S Byatt
The Alices are the greatest nonsense ever written, and far greater, in my view, than most sense. -- Sir Philip Pullman

Lewis Carroll's real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was born on 27th January 1832 at Daresbury in Cheshire. He studied at Christ Church, Oxford University and later became a mathematics lecturer there. He wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1872) for the daughters of the Dean of Christ Church. He was very fond of puzzles and some readers have found mathematical jokes and codes hidden in his Alice books. His other works include Phantasmagoria and Other Poems (1869), The Hunting of the Snark (1876), Rhyme? And Reason? (1882), The Game of Logic (1887) and Sylvie and Bruno (1889, 1893). Dodgson was also an influential photographer. He died on 14th January 1898.
