Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass capture all the whimsical “muchness” of Wonderland in one book. Follow Alice as she goes down the rabbit hole to explore Wonderland, where she enjoys tea with the Mad Hatter, navigates with the Cheshire Cat, and plays croquet with the Queen of Hearts. On the other side of the looking-glass, Alice meets Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the White Queen, and a variety of other characters that inhabit a different reality. This beautifully crafted volume in the collectible Word Cloud Classics series features colorful sprayed edges, a heat-burnished cover with foil stamping, and charming illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature.

Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of theAlicebookswith those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatteret al.by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian childrens literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history.

Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said,Aliceis no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing upor down, or all turned roundas seen through the expert eyes of a child.
