For well over a century now, children have laughed at the amazing adventures of Alice and marvelled at the array of odd characters she meets in a magical world where time does not matter.
This book is full of wonderment and nonsense which will always amuse children and the young at heart.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass had their origins in the stories written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), known to us as Lewis Carroll, for the amusement of the daughter of a friend.

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.
