[SR: 12496376], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780956266828], White's Books Ltd, White's Books Ltd, Book, [PU: White's Books Ltd], White's Books Ltd, Alice is wondering what to do one day, when a talking rabbit steals her attention. She is so intrigued that she follows him into his hole, and tumbles down into Wonderland. Alice soon discovers that reality and logic, as she knows them, do not apply here. In an attempt get out of the hole and into, "the loveliest garden you ever saw," she eats a cake to grow large enough to reach the key to the garden.However, this backfires as she grows way too large to fit through the opening. Alice becomes frustrated and cries a pool of tears, into which fall many curious talking creatures, including a Mouse, a Dodo, a Lory and an Eaglet. Alice is whisked along some of the most bizarre and imaginative adventures in children's literature. Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a classic that is beloved by listeners of all ages., Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense. For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story.

[SR: 6160383], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780956266828], White's Books Ltd, White's Books Ltd, Book, [PU: White's Books Ltd], White's Books Ltd, A beautiful hardback for the price of a paperback. White's Pocket Classics offer the best-loved classics in an irresistible small hardback with original illustrations embossed on the covers and all the features of a fine edition -- coloured endpapers, marker ribbon, illustrated title pages and new typesetting -- combining the best contemporary design with the luxury of a hardback and introductions by today's popular authors, to make the most appealing classics available at a paperback price and a perfect gift. This edition of Alice in Wondrland includes both Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and has original interior illustrations., Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has continuously delighted readers, young and old, for more than a century. This classic tale, interpreted by many outstanding artists over the years, is a remarkable story of one little girl who embarks on possibly one of the most amazing adventures in literary history. In this stunning special edition, Helen Oxenbury turns her hand to what is certainly no small project and has succeeded in surpassing expectation. More abundantly illustrated than other editions of the same work, this unabridged version is packed with contemporary and accessible interpretations of the kaleidoscope of characters--the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts--who have each captured the imaginations of generations of children. Alice herself is portrayed as a thoroughly modern miss--casually dressed, personable, and spirited--and her surroundings are brought to effervescent life with a warmth, depth, and distinctive sense of humor that perfectly complement the shenanigans of the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland.
