Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

Originally created by a quiet British scholar to entertain ten-year-old Alice Liddell and her sisters on a summer afternoon, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass have captivated readers for generations and been translated into over eighty languages. As A. S. Byatt notes in her introduction, the lasting charm and brilliance of the Alice books come from their clever use of language. Full of playful wordplay and curious puzzles, these stories continue to surprise and delight readers long after childhood.
