Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass: Boxed Set Boxed set - 1999
by Lewis Carroll; John Tenniel; John Tenniel (Illustrator)
About this book
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through
the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, tell the story of a young
girl in a fantasy world filled with peculiar, anthropomorphic
creatures. The classic tale of literary nonsense takes the reader on an
exploration of logic and absurdities. The Alice books — sometimes
combined or referred to with the abbreviated title Alice in Wonderland —
have been translated into at least 97 languages with over a hundred
different editions. The books have also been adapted numerous times into
films (both live-action and cartoon), plays, and musicals.
Summary
Since the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass more than 125 years ago, these stories have remained two of the best-known and best-loved children's books ever written. Now readers can enjoy them as Lewis Carroll intended-with all of his changes and additions. And they can relish John Tenniel's unforgettable illustrations as he only imagined they could be-in full color. The two volumes are packaged together in a beautiful slipcase, which makes them perfect for a child ready to discover Alice's wonderous adventures for the first time-or for anyone who wants to experience them again and again.

now known to survive. Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There was
