Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
This Wordsworth Classic Edition includes two unabridged tales from Lewis Carroll. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice falls down a rabbit hole and enters Wonderland, where she encounters such characters as the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat, The Hatter, The Queen of Hearts, and more. In the sequel, Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, Alice wonders what life is like on the other side of a mirror and then is transported into that wacky world, where she reunites with some old friends and meets some new characters like Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, and the Jabberwock. These are two adventure-filled stories about Alice that are loved by readers of all ages. 288 pgs, pb.
With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury.
This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.
Wordsworth classics are complete, unabridged editions of timeless literature and poetry offered at a very affordable price. Each one is delightfully illustrated and carefully reprinted to appeal to the general public while preserving its high quality. Some of the most popular novels to study in school, such as Uncle Tom's Cabin and Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers, include more in-depth, insightful introductions as well as helpful notes in the back of the book to offer readers definitions or background to words or phrases appearing in the text. ~ Steph
