Description

'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', is one of the best known children's books of all time, and has become the favourite to children and adults alike. It follows Alice as she falls through a rabbit role into a strange world with talking animals and magical potions.

Collated, complete.

Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who is best known for his 'Wonderland' books. His books are of the nonsense genre, playing with logic and fantasy. It's the general belief that his character Alice was based off Alice Liddell, a relationship that has caused a great amount of controversy.

Illustrated by John Tenniel, who was knighted for his artists achievements in 1893. He is best known for his illustrations for 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass', and also for his political cartoons for 'Punch'.
