About This Item
An interesting book. On the copyright page (Roman numerals for 1969), it says "Made and printed in Great Britain by Purnell & Sons with an SBN (see above)", but "McClelland and Stewart Limited, Toronto and Montreal" is on the title page and also on the front board and the spine. 1st Canadian Edition thus. There are many amusing illustrations throughout the book, both b/w and colour by artist Rosemary Honeybourne. Although sticking to the storyline of Alice in Wonderland, the illustrations are refreshingly different.
Synopsis
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.
