The Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the March Hare, and of course Alice--the characters of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are familiar to readers around the world. This new paperback edition features the original illustrations by John Tenniel--plus informative annotations that highlight many interesting points--all at a highly affordable price.
'Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.' So many readers were to take this famous advice given by the King of Hearts that by the end of the nineteenth century the double Alice (1865 and 1872) had acquired a pre-eminent and unassailable position in children's literature. Lewis Carroll's use of logic, by which the ordinary is translated into the extraordinary in an entirely plausible way, is delightfully combined with an exceptional knowledge and understanding of the mind of the child. Satire, allusion and symbolism weave deeper and mysterious meanings, lending a measure of immortality to Carroll's remarkable fantasy.

Magical, enchanting nonsense that I read again and again and the first book that I read and felt that it had been written for me. It doesnt moralise or explain, it is just a story about a child for children. - Pauline LowreyThe characters, poems and stories populated my childhood. It inspired me to try to write my own stories and poems, and started me off on the long road to being a professional writer. Every child should have the opportunity to read this book or have it read to them. - Rebecca Verkade-CaveThe first book that ever had an impact on me as a child, strange, enchanting, fun and memorable. I loved it and 33 years later I still do. The rabbit and the idea of time! Timeless. - Martin Bee Read all reviews (5) Write a review
