Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Other Stories - (Leather-Bound Classics) by Lewis Carroll (Leather Bound)

Book Synopsis

Scurry down the rabbit hole and step through the looking glass with this luxurious compilation of works from Lewis Carroll.

Witty, whimsical, and often nonsensical, the fiction of Lewis Carroll has been popular with children and adults for more than 150 years. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland takes readers on a trip down the rabbit hole, where height is dynamic, animals talk, and the best solutions to drying off are a dry lecture on William the Conqueror and a Caucus Race in which everyone runs in circles and there is no clear winner. Through the Looking Glass begins the adventure anew when Alice steps through a mirror into a magical backward world where she can be made queen if she can only get to the other side of the colossal chessboard. Seven other included works and original drawings by John Tenniel complete this luxurious leather-bound edition that will be treasured by new readers and Carroll fans alike.

About the Author

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-98), better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and a photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky," all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy.

Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914) was a British illustrator, graphic humorist and political cartoonist whose work was prominent during the second half of the19th century. Tenniel is considered important to the study of that period's social, literary, and art histories and was knighted by Queen Victoria for his artistic achievements in 1893.
