Never before have Alice in wonderland and Through the looking-glass been presented together at so low a price in one volume, with all Sr John Tenniel's inimitable illustrations.
The story which a Lecturer in Mathematics at Oxford invented for a small girl named Alice on the river one summer afternoon has delighted generations of readers of all ages since Charles Dodgsons, alias Lewis Carroll, wrote in 1862; and so has its yet more enchanting sequel. Countless editions of the two masterpieces of fantasy have been printed; translations have appeared in some twenty languages including Chinese, Esperanto and the vernaculars of Asia and Africa; passages from both books have been quoted in the Parliaments of the British Empire and the United States Congress; officers and other ranks have carried copies in their wartime haversacks. Probably no other works in English, except Shakespeare's plays, are so widely known. Carroll's tales and Tenniel's pictures are a perfect marriage. Other famous illustrators have tried their hand at Alice; only the original partnership has found immortality.
