Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
Introduction by A. S. Byatt Illustrations by John Tenniel Includes commissioned endnotes 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.” Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide
Return to wonderland
A Return to Wonderland is a retelling of Lewis Carroll’s story of Alice’s voyage through the same places, with characters like the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse, the Walrus and the Oysters, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts... After all this time, though, things are a little different, and the madness of her first trip has been overcome – the Queen of Hearts is now President, but with more powers. She can still order beheadings and no longer plays croquet, but rather another, bloodier game. Normality has been established.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
A young girl enters two bizarre worlds by following a white rabbit down a rabbit hole and moving through the mirror on the mantel.
The Story of Alice
Robert Douglas-Fairhurst illuminates two entangled lives: the Oxford mathematician Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and Alice Liddell, the child for whom he invented the Alice stories. This relationship influenced Carroll’s imaginative creation of Wonderland—a sheltered world apart during the stormy transition from the Victorian to the modern era

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - With Eight Coloured and 42 Other Illustrations by W. H. Walker
This edition of Alice in Wonderland was originally published in 1907. Here Alice's adventures down the rabbit hole are depicted by the bright and beautiful colour illustrations of W. H. Walker. Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's literature and are reprinting this book for adults and children to enjoy once again. About the Author: Charles Dodgson (1832-1898) is best known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll. A polymath who is arguably best known as an author, but who also worked as a mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer, his most famous works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the sequel Alice Through the Looking-Glass. Dodgson was a prolific writer who contributed children's stories, mathematical theses and political pamphlets to a variety of magazines.
The Original Alice
On 4 July 1862, which he later remembered as a 'golden afternoon', the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a young mathematics tutor at Christ Church, Oxford, entertained three little girls on a river trip with a 'fairy tale' which was to become one of the most famous children's stories of all time. Alice, the heroine of the tale, implored him to write it down for her, but had to wait two years until she received a beautifully hand-written volume, with Dodgson's own pen and ink drawings, entitled 'Alice's Adventures Under Ground'.'. Here, with many charming illustrations, Sally Brown tells the story of Dodgson's lifelong devotion to Alice and traces the stages through which the manuscript - now one of The British Library's most treasured possessions - progressed as it was revised, expanded, given new illustrations by John Tenniel and finally published, under the pseudonym 'Lewis Carroll', as 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.
The Alice Behind Wonderland
On a summer's day in 1858, in a garden behind Christ Church College in Oxford, Charles Dodgson, a lecturer in mathematics, photographed six-year-old Alice Liddell, the daughter of the college dean, with a Thomas Ottewill Registered Double Folding camera, recently purchased in London. Simon Winchester deftly uses the resulting image--as unsettling as it is famous, and the subject of bottomless speculation--as the vehicle for a brief excursion behind the lens, a focal point on the origins of a classic work of English literature. Dodgson's love of photography framed his view of the world, and was partly responsible for transforming a shy and half-deaf mathematician into one of the world's best-...
