Description

Go down the rabbit hole with Alice in this brand-new edition of Lewis Carroll's classic stories, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Produced in association with the UK's National Gallery, this handsome new hardback edition's dustjacket features artwork from the gallery's collection and includes expert notes on the art. The image is A Girl with a Kitten, probably by Jean-Baptiste Perroneau - an idealised portrait of a young girl with her pet which evokes Alice and her cat Dinah.

Featuring the full original text of both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, this striking edition is the ideal gift for anyone who loves the characters, wit and sublime silliness of Alice's adventures.

This volume is part of the new Masterpiece Classics series from Welbeck, which includes The Jungle Books.
