Down the rabbit-hole and through the looking-glass! Lewis Carroll's
novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the
Looking-Glass (first published in 1865 and 1871, respectively) have
entertained readers young and old for more than a century. Their
magical worlds, amusing characters, clever dialogue, and playfully
logical illogic epitomize the wit and whimsy of Carroll's writing.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland transports you down the
rabbit-hole into a wondrous realm that is home to a White Rabbit, a
March Hare, a Mad Hatter, a tea-drinking Dormouse, a grinning
Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts and her playing-card retainers,
and all manner of marvelous creatures. Through the Looking-Glass is
your passport to a topsy-turvy world on the other side of the
mirror, where you have to run fast just to stay in place, memory
works backwards, and it is possible to believe as many as six
impossible things before breakfast. Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass is the first in a new
collection of Children's Deluxe editions. These volumes will
feature foil-stamped binding and distinctive gilt edging and an
attractive ribbon bookmark. Additionally, this new deluxe
leather-bound edition features colored illustrations of John
Tenniel.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics.
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister
on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had
peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures
or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book, thought
Alice, without pictures or conversations?
So begins the tale of Alice, following a curious White Rabbit
down a rabbit-hole and falling into Wonderland. A fantastical
place, where nothing is quite as it seems: animals talk,
nonsensical characters confuse, Mad Hatter's throw tea parties and
the Queen plays croquet. Alice's attempts to find her way home
become increasingly bizarre, infuriating and amazing in turn. A
beloved classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has continued to
delight readers, young and old for over a century."
