Description

One moment Alice is sitting along the banks of a river admiring the wind, the next she is tumbling down a rabbit hole. Far away from the life she was used to, Alices adventures in the fantastical, and oh-so-strange, Wonderland is delightfully bizarre and tremendously entertaining.

From the mind of a creative, kooky, genius, comes the unforgettable story of a young girls journey through and odd land. Equal parts political commentary and societal satire, Alices Adventures in Wonderland is an iconic coming of age story as seen through the expert lens of a childs imagination. Delicate, bizarre, and utterly nonsensical at times, Alices Adventures in Wonderland remains as a literary treasure for all who dare to dream, wonder, think and explore.

With an eye-catching new covers and a new informative note about the author, this edition of Alice in Wonderland is both modern and readable

Author Bio

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) was an English children's writer. Born in Cheshire to a family of prominent Anglican clergymen, Carroll--the pen name of Charles Dodgson--suffered from a stammer and pulmonary issues from a young age. Confined to his home frequently as a boy, he wrote poems and stories to pass the time, finding publication in local and national magazines by the time he was in his early twenties. After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1854, he took a position as a mathematics lecturer at Christ Church, which he would hold for the next three decades. In 1865, he published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, masterpiece of children's literature that earned him a reputation as a leading fantasist of the Victorian era. Followed by Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871), Carroll's creation has influenced generations of readers, both children and adults alike, and has been adapted countless times for theater, film, and television. Carroll is also known for his nonsense poetry, including The Hunting of the Snark (1876) and "Jabberwocky."
