Not all the inhabitants of Wonderland may be mad, but they are all certainly odd. The Caterpillar, Frog Footman, Duchess, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter (who is mad), March Hare, Dormouse, Mock Turtle, Gryphon, White Rabbit, and Queen of Hearts do things like play croquet using flamingos and hedgehogs, dance the lobster quadrille, hold nonsensical tea parties, and sometimes vanish without warning. The only indubitably sane creature in the whole group is Alice, puzzling her way through with her good nature and sense of adventure intact.

This edition restores the long-lost "Was in a Wig" episode to its original place in chapter 8 of Through the Looking-glass.

Work Description

A very real little girl named Alice follows a remarkable rabbit down a rabbit hole and steps through a looking-glass to come face to face with some of the strangest adventures and some of the oddest characters in all literature. The crusty Duchess, the Mad Hatter, the weeping Mock Turtle, the diabolical Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire-Cat, Tweedledum and Tweedledee--each one is more eccentric, and more entertaining, than the last. And all of them could only have come from the pen of Lewis Carroll, one of the few adults ever to enter successfully the children's world of make-believe--a wonderland where the impossible becomes possible, the unreal, real...where the heights of adventure are limited only by the depths of imagination.
