Other editions of book Alice In Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass

A Joss Recording In his diary for July 4, 1862, a young Englishman described "...an expedition up the river to Godstowe with three Liddells," daughters of his college dean. "I told them a fairy tale which later I undertook to write out for Alice." Childhood was never the same again, for the young man was Lewis Carroll and the book, ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Carroll was a singular character even in his early years. An ordained minister and professor of mathematics at Oxford, he had a remarkable talent for whimsey, puzzles and paradox. And Alice was not its only blossom. When Queen Victoria asked him to send her his next book, she received a treatise on Euclid.

First published in 1865, Lewis Carroll's endearing tales of an imaginative child's dream world are written with charming simplicity.While delighting children with a heroine who represents their own thoughts and feelings about growing up, the tale is appreciated by adults as a gentle satire on education, politics, literature, and Victorian life in general.All the delightful and bizarre inhabitants of Wonderland are here: the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat, the hooka-smoking Caterpillar and the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Ugly Duchess…and, of course, Alice herself—growing alternately taller and smaller, attending demented tea parties and eccentric croquet games, and observing everything with clarity and rational amazement.These novels are part of Brilliance Audio's extensive Classic Collection, bringing you timeless masterpieces that you and your family are sure to love.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland begin with a white rabbit and a long fall, and Alice finds herself in a strange place that only becomes curiouser and curiouser. Animals can talk and recite poetry, tea parties are attended by all manner of odd people, and Alice herself can grow tall as a tree, or shrink to just a few inches. This edition of Lewis Carroll's classic tale of nonsense is complete and unabridged. Included also is Through the Looking-Glass, the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures.The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre.Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), generally categorized as literary nonsense. It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice's birthday (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.

Follow curious Alice as she ventures down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland, filled with unforgettable characters such as the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts. Then enter a topsy-turvy universe the other side of the Looking Glass, where Alice encounters old and new friends, like Humpty Dumpty and Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Illustrated with John Tenniel's iconic original drawings, this edition of Lewis Carroll's classic stories are guaranteed to enchant young readers aged 7 and up.
