First published by Macmillan in 1903 the Little Folks' editions of
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass were
charming miniature versions of Lewis Carroll's two classic
Wonderland tales, specially abridged for younger readers. This new
edition brings the two titles together for the first time in a
beautiful gift book reproduced from rare archive copies of the
original books, with over sixty original full colour illustrations
by Sir John Tenniel. This unique little book retains all the charm
of the historic originals. With luxurious red cloth binding, gold
blocking and gold sprayed edges, it is the perfect celebration of
the 150th anniversary of Through the Looking-glass; a wonderful
gift for fans of every age, an introduction to Alice and Wonderland
for younger children, and a must-have for every collector's
bookshelf.

Lewis Carroll's two Alice books, first published in 1865 and 1871 respectively, remain to this day two of the greatest and most beloved books of all time. They have been translated into hundreds of languages, and have had an enormous impact on film, television, art, and theatre.
This edition is a re-issue of editions published in 1907. They were specially shortened for children, and Tenniel's famous illustrations were coloured. The original font is reprinted.
The colouring seems a bit dated by today's standards, but the pictures are still very pretty. The spirit of the original story is present throughout.
Overall, this is a perfect little book for Alice-fans everywhere.
