A superb gift edition of Lewis Carroll's complete and unabridged text, beautifully typeset and laid out. The most fantastic new illustrations re-imagine the much-loved characters of Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen, the Mock Turtle and the rest. An heirloom of the future, this beautiful book is richly produced to a standard this timeless classic deserves, with a padded hardback cover, a ribbon marker and traditional binding. The story of Lewis Carroll and how he came to write this much-loved tale is told at the back of the book.

Join Alice as she follows the white rabbit into the amazing world of Wonderland, where anything can happen! Watch Alice change size, meet the Mad Hatter and his friend, the March Hare, talk to the smiling Cheshire cat, play a game of croquet with the Queen of Hearts, witness the strangest trial ever and enjoy never-ending adventures in the land of dreams!

Come un'innocente gita al fiume può trasformarsi nella più inimmaginabile avventura della letteratura europea? Semplicemente inseguendo un coniglio bianco con un panciotto e un orologio da taschino. Comincia così, senza stupore, il viaggio di Alice nel paese delle meraviglie, uno strano mondo abitato da animali parlanti e stizzosi, sorridenti e sentenziosi. Ma la sua storia non è solo il capolavoro fiabesco che tutti hanno conosciuto, è anche una fitta trama di significati nascosti e palesi nonsensi, imbastita per scardinare le logiche anguste dei precetti morali. Il viaggio di Alice diventa così occasione, per adulti e bambini, di scoprire la luminosa mutevolezza di tutte le cose.

Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting! Would you be surprised to see a white rabbit take a watch out of his waistcoat pocket? It certainly seems a remarkable sight to Alice and, full of curiosity, she follows him down a rabbit-hole into a very strange world. She meets a disappearing cat, plays croquet with a bad-tempered Queen, joins a mad Hatter's tea party and becomes entangled in the case of some missing tarts. In Wonderland nothing but out-of-the-way things happen...

The young Alice follows a hasty hare underground-to come face-to-face with some of the strangest adventures in all of literature. In this arresting parody of the fears, anxieties, and complexities of growing up, readers enter the world of make-believe, where the impossible becomes possible and the heights of adventure are unlimited.

Describes how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. His dream worlds of Wonderland and back-to-front Looking Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig, time is abandoned at a disorderly tea-party and a chaotic game of chess makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen.

Assise dans l’herbe un jour d’été, Alice voit passer un lapin blanc qu’elle suit dans son terrier. Elle bascule alors dans un monde extraordinaire et magique…Né des contes que l'auteur improvisa un jour pour trois petites filles, ce rêve à épisodes, fondé sur le désir et la peur de grandir, se déroule sur le rythme des comptines et reproduit les fantaisies et les fantasmes de l'enfance.

There's nothing quite like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Described by The Times on its first publication in 1865 as an excellent piece of nonsense, this inspired tale of a young girl's adventures in a strange and magical world has gone on to become one of the most popular books ever written, translated into over 125 languages and said to be the most frequently quoted book after the Bible, Koran and Shakespeare. In Tove Jansson, the story of Alice finds an illustrator worthy of its enchantment and surreal beauty. Jansson is renowned worldwide for her hugely successful Moomin books. What is less well known is that in 1966 she devoted her unique gifts as an illustrator to recreating the remarkable world of this most famous of children's characters. Over forty years after she presented Lewis Carroll's masterpiece to a Scandinavian audience, Tove Jansson's beautifully illustrated edition of the original text of this classic work is finally made available to an English-speaking audience.

When Alice steps through the looking-glass, she enters a very strange world of chess pieces and nursery rhyme characters such as Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledee and Tweedledum and the angry Red Queen. Nothing is what it seems and, in fact, through the looking-glass, everything is distorted.

A fresh, practical approach to two of Lewis Carroll's most beloved works, which chronicle the magical, captivating adventures of Alice of Wonderland.

The story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland continues to enchant generations of adults and children alike. This picture book version, adapted by Lewis Carroll himself and designed especially for younger readers, will bring back many happy memories for parents and grandparents and is a perfect introduction to all the magic and humorous mayhem of Wonderland! First published by Macmillan & Co in 1890, this newly rediscovered treasure is a perfect gift; ideal for all the family and a joy to share aloud.

Las aventuras de Alicia recrean escenarios insólitos y ponen en entredicho los postulados lógicos del mundo convencional. Alicia en el país de las maravillas traspasa el umbral que separa la realidad del sueño y se adentra en un territorio sin leyes ni normas, donde todo es posible. Triunfo de la imaginación y del ingenio, esta narración recrea un mundo de escenarios y criaturas isólitos, y pone en entredicho todos y cada uno de los postulados lógicos en que se basa el mundo convencional. La continuación de este relato, A través del espejo, y el hilarante poema L a caza del Snark completan esta edición ilustrada.

In 1864, Lewis Carroll sent Alice's Adventures under Ground, a handwritten and illustrated manuscript, as a gift to Alice Liddell, the daughter of his Oxford dean. This formed the basis for Carroll's Alice in Wonderland — introducing timeless characters such as Alice, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts and the Gryphon — although it differs considerably from the later work, with the author himself approving its publication in 1886. Alice's Adventures under Ground provides an enchanting glimpse into Carroll's imaginative process, and deserves to be ranked as a classic for all ages in its own right.

'But I don't want to go among mad people', Alice remarked. 'Oh, you ca'n't help that', said the Cat. 'We're all mad here'. The 'Alice' books are two of the most translated, most quoted, and best-known books in the world, but what exactly are they? Apparently delightful, innocent fantasies for children, they are also complex textures of mathematical, linguistic, and philosophical jokes. Alice's encounters with the White Rabbit, the Cheshire-Cat, the King and Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and many other extraordinary characters have made them masterpieces of carefree nonsense, yet they also appeal to adults on a quite different level. Layers of satire, allusion, and symbolism about Victorian culture and politics, as well as revelations about the intricate subconscious problems of their author, add to their fascination and make them impossible to classify. This new edition explores the phenomenal range of reference, and the paradoxical appeal of two of the most inventive books in world literature. It also includes an episode removed by Carroll from the proofs of Through the Looking-Glass, called 'The Wasp in a Wig'.

Tandis qu'elle s'ennuie sur la berge d'un fleuve, Alice voit tout à coup passer un lapin blanc, ce qui n'a rien d'exceptionnel, mais, chose plus surprenante, elle le voit également tirer une montre de la poche de son gilet. Intriguée, la voilà qui se lance à sa poursuite. Le lapin disparaît dans un grand terrier : elle décide d'y descendre à son tour. C'est à la demande d'une vraie petite fille, justement prénommée Alice, que Charles Dodgson, professeur de mathématiques à Oxford, couche sur le papier l'histoire qu'il lui a racontée, en promenade, un jour de l'été 1862. Trois ans plus tard, sous le pseudonyme de Lewis Carroll, il la fait paraître et, encouragé par l'accueil de la presse, lui donne pour suite La Traversée du Miroir dont le succès, en 1871, est encore plus considérable. C'est que l'auteur sait prendre l'enfant au sérieux, et du coup toucher les adultes, comme il sait se dégager assez de l'Angleterre victorienne pour ouvrir à son livre l'avenir d'une oeuvre classique.

Alice walking through a mirror into a topsy-turvy world. There she meets a host of bizarre characters, including Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the Red Queen. But is it all a dream?
