Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
A stunning new edition of Lewis Carroll's classic children's tale.
'Curiouser and curiouser!'
Reimagined by the illustrations of Kate Greenaway Medal winner Grahame Baker-Smith, this stunning new edition of a childhood favourite will transport a whole new generation of readers down the rabbit hole and into Wonderland.
Conjured one 'golden afternoon' in 1867, the story of Alice has charmed readers for more than 150 years. Now readers can rediscover a host of favourite characters, from the despotic Queen of Hearts to the riddling Cheshire Cat, in a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
Lewis Carroll (Author)
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, logician and mathematician. Born in 1832, he is best known for the novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, as well as his nonsense poems. The character of Alice was in fact based on a real child, Alice Liddell, daughter of the dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Carroll taught mathematics. Many of the adventures in Wonderland are thought to be based on a picnic with Alice and her two sisters.
By the time of Carroll's death in 1898, Alice in Wonderland was one of the most popular books in the English language, and it continues to be so to this day.
