A special hardcover edition with twenty-eight beautiful original full-colour illustrations.


"A book of that extremely rare kind which will belong to all the generations to come until the language becomes obsolete" - Walter Besant.


"The book changed young people's literature. It helped to replace stiff Victorian didacticism with a looser, sillier, nonsense style that reverberated through the works of language-loving 20th-century authors as different as James Joyce, Douglas Adams and Dr Seuss." - TIME


"Lewis Carroll's brilliant nonsense tale is one of the most influential and best-loved in the English canon." - Robert McCrum


Lewis Carroll has entranced children and adults with these delightful, playful and intriguing stories ever since he first told them to the ten-year-old Alice Liddell while rowing on the Thames in Oxford, England.


Alice's Adventures in Wonderland began a new era in children's literature, where the goal was to entertain and delight the reader instead of merely educating. His mischievous, light-hearted wordplay and fantasy anticipate Dr Seuss.


This thoroughly delightful book "has a dreamlike unreality peopled with some of the most entertaining characters in English literature. The White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle, the Cheshire Cat and the King and Queen of Hearts are simply the most memorable of a cast from which every reader will find his or her favourite." (Robert McCrum). It is little surprise that it has been repeatedly adapted for the stage and the screen and even computer games.


This lavishly illustrated special hardcover edition contains twenty-eight beautiful original full-colour illustrations, including many full-page illustrations by Sir John Tenniel and Arthur Rackham and eleven monochrome drawings by Rackham. Almost every two-page spread has an illustration. The modern twelve-point font will be easy for a child to read and enjoy Carroll's delightful style. A wonderful gift for any child or parent.

Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914), a prominent Victoria illustrator and cartoonist, was the principal cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years. He was the first illustrator to be knighted.

Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) was a leading figure in the Golden Age of children's illustration. His influence extended past his death and can be seen in Disney's approach to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an Oxford mathematician and logician, an early photographer, and a leading Victorian author. He is best remembered for his children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
