Alice in Wonderland: The Original 1865 Edition With Complete Illustrations By Sir John Tenniel (A Classic Novel of Lewis Carroll)

By Lewis Carroll

Journey with Alice down the rabbit hole into a world of wonder where oddities, logic and wordplay rule supreme. Encounter characters like the grinning Cheshire Cat who can vanish into thin air, the cryptic Mad Hatter who speaks in riddles and the harrowing Queen of Hearts obsessed with the phrase "Off with their heads!" This is a land where rules have no boundaries, eating mushrooms will make you grow or shrink, croquet is played with flamingos and hedgehogs, and exorbitant trials are held for the theft of tarts. Amidst these absurdities, Alice will have to find her own way home.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland began as a story told to three little girls in a rowboat, near Oxford. Ten year old Alice Liddell asked to have the story written down and two years later it was published with immediate success. Carroll's unique play on logic has undoubtedly led to its lasting appeal to adults, while remaining one of the most beloved children's tales of all time. This edition is complete with all 42 original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.

This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Creative storytelling with emphasis on the unstructured integrity of one’s dreams.

I absolutely loved it, I’ve obviously watched the films and I’ve always loved them and the idea of this world that only alice knows about but reading the book itself (I listened to half on audio book and read the rest) is amazing to see the differences and the way that Lewis creates this world through words is honestly incredible! The only reason I’ve only given it 4 stars is because I put it in the same sort of category as the wizard of oz (which I read last year) and the wizard of oz was ever so slightly better and that got a 5 star review

It was ok, I didn't like Alice, she was so.. annoying.. And not humble at all, she was very spoiled.. and mean sometimes..

Alittle hard to follow at times, but nonetheless whimsical and full of imagination!
