"Perfect story of Alice to share with younger readers. Tony Ross has done a great job... and the book is full of his delightfully humourous illustrations too." * Lovereading *
"[Tony Ross] manages to capture the nonsense and humour of the original tale and make it accessible for young audiences." * Library Mice *

Author Bio

Lewis Carroll (Author)
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.
