Buy from FlipkartThis edition of the Alice books by Lewis Carroll comprises Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, And What Alice Found There along with Sir John Tenniel’s whole original black-and-white illustrations. Carroll’s dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom depict a flipped order: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a disordered tea party, and a seven-year-old girl is made Queen. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The tale plays with logic, and the anarchic humor and sparkling wordplay, puzzles and riddles, are poignant moments of nostalgia for lost childhood. Its ongoing legacy encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, ballet, theme parks, board games, and video games. This classic edition is a must-have for all! • This hardbound edition comes with gilded edges, a ribbon bookmark, and beautiful endpapers • Comprises one of the best-known and most popular works of English-language fiction • Its narrative, structure, characters, and imagery have been enormously influential • The mesmerizing characters and enchanting plot will keep the readers hooked • The tales have been delighting children and adults alike for generations
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, best known by his nom de plume, Lewis Carroll, was born in January, 1832, in Daresbury, England. An English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman, and photographer, he was a man with diverse interests. Noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are his most famous writings. His wonderful ability in the genre of literary nonsense is displayed in his poem The Hunting of the Snark.
