Description


Weary of her storybook, one "without pictures or conversations," the young and imaginative Alice follows a hasty hare underground to come face-to-face with some of the strangest adventures and most fantastic characters in all of literature. The Ugly Duchess, the Mad Hatter, the weeping Mock Turtle, the diabolical Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat. Each character more eccentric than the last, could only have come from the master of sublime nonsense, Lewis Carroll. In penning this brilliant burlesque of children's literature, Carroll has written a burlesque satire of rigid Victorian society, an arresting parody of the fears, anxieties, and complexities of growing up. Carroll was one of the few adult writers to successfully enter the children's world of make-believe: where the impossible becomes possible, the unreal/real, and where the height of adventure is limited only by the depths of imagination. This edition is beautifully decorated with 40 Illustrations by Peter Newell.
