ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND & THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

This selection of Carroll's works includes 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and its sequel, 'Through the Looking-Glass', both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. 288pp. Paperback.
