Have a tea party in Wonderland with this abridged retelling of
Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, part of the
bestselling Classic Starts® series that has sold more than 8
million copies!  “Life, what is it but a dream?” In
Alice in Wonderland, Alice falls down a rabbit hole to find herself
in a bizarre land ruled by a ruthless Queen of Hearts. In Through
the Looking-Glass, Alice visits another fantastical world where
everything is reversed. Is it all real, just a figment of Alice’s
imagination, . . . or both? This abridged retelling is the perfect
way to introduce young readers to the grinning Cheshire Cat,
Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and the Jabberwocky.
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.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass is
a cherished collection of stories featuring the titular character,
Alice, and her misadventures through the curious and fantastical
lands of Wonderland. As little Alice goes deeper and deeper down
the rabbit hole, she meets an assortment of oddball characters,
like the eccentric March Hare, the whimsical Mad Hatter, and the
enigmatic Cheshire Cat, who will all become familiar faces within
this strange world. If Alice is to navigate the dangerous yet
fascinating landscape of Wonderland, she must learn who is friend
and who is foe, and use her good sense to find a way home. Â
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."

The perfect gift for a young reader. Share your beloved childhood
stories with the next generation! When Alice sees a White Rabbit
with a waistcoat and a watch hurrying down a rabbit hole, she
follows him without a thought for where she is going, and how she
will get home. She finds herself in a world beyond imagination,
where she seems never to be the same size for more than five
minutes, where riddles have no answers, where playing cards rule,
and where no one seems sane or sensible. In Alice's quest to find
her way home, she meets a cast of unforgettable characters – the
Mad Hatter and the March Hare, the sleepy Dormouse, the fearsome
Queen of Hearts and, of course, the smiling Cheshire Cat. But where
is the White Rabbit? And what is he late for? And how will she ever
find her way home? For over 150 years, the story that Lewis Carroll
wrote as a celebration of the magical realms of the human
imagination has enchanted generations of readers with its memorable
characters, passages and verses. Glorious full-colour illustrations
from the Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning artist Robert
Ingpen. 'Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling' – Michael
Morpurgo

Here is the perfect gift for all insomniacs: a feast of intriguing
puzzles, rhymes, limericks, and other entertainments devised by the
author of Alice in Wonderland to help pass what he called “the
wakeful hours.” “The dilemma my friends suppose me to be in,”
said Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, “has, for its
two horns, the endurance of a sleepless night, and the adoption of
some recipe for inducing sleep.” In this delightful book,
therefore, are collected a splendid variety of the things he
devised to help rid himself of insomnia. They range from simple
number problems and calming calculations to a number of whimsical
activites: composing rhymes at midnight, conjuring up ghosts,
planning dreams, devising shadow shows, and writing in the dark by
means of Nyctograph. Take Carroll’s advice and the “wakeful
hours” can be turned to your advantage.

the Looking Glass follows Alice on her curious adventure and shows
