Revised and with illustrations, everyone can enjoy something new from this classic tale. - Although written during the Victorian era, the adventures of the little girl who fell down a rabbit hole continue to have universal appeal today. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the story of a little girl who must face the challenges of growing up in an increasingly out-of-control world. Throughout her travels, Alice faces difficult situations. Her curiosity in seeing a pocket-watch-carrying white rabbit and following it into the strange world is what initially lands her in a predicament. Having done so, however, Alice accepts the consequences and sets about finding her way, making decisions on where to go, what to eat and how to act. Like any individual on the path to maturity, she does not always make the right choice, as when, in the white rabbit's house, she eats the biscuit and grows too large to get out of it. Despite the challenges and setbacks, however, Alice perseveres, facing the threats and intimidation of the Queen of Hearts during the croquet game to grow large enough to overcome adversity and find her way back where she belonged. Her story, in facing challenges and overcoming them, maturing in the process is familiar to child and adult alike. It accounts for its decades of continuing appeal, across continents and cultures, societies, and social divides. Next to the Bible and the works of Shakespeare, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the most quoted book in the world. - Initially published in 1865, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been a classic for generations. Alice goes on adventures with White Rabbit, the most famous literary character, defies the crazy and terrifying Queen of Hearts, and joins the entertaining Mad Hatter, plus many other strange creatures. This edition from 5310 Publishing comes with: - Unique illustrations that represent main scenes and characters. - The manuscript was revised and edited for today's English standards. - Distinctive sketches and graphics that help bring this classic to life.

Autorenporträt

Alice's Adventures In WonderlandA 1865 children's novel by English author Charles Lutwidge DodgsonLewis CarrollAlice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.When Alice follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole, she finds herself in an enchanted world, filled with creatures like the Mad Hatter, the disappearing Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts. Alice quickly finds out that nothing is as it seems in the wild world of Wonderland...Alice's complete adventures, a source of delight to children and adults alike for generationsConjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain Alice Liddell, the daughter of the dean of Carroll's college, the dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down. Following the white rabbit into his warren, Alice falls into a world where croquet is played with hedgehogs and flamingos, a baby turns into a pig, time runs amok at a the Mad Hatter's tea-party, a chaotic game of chess makes Alice a Queen and the Mock Turtle and Gryphon dance the Lobster Quadrille. But amongst the anarchic humour and sparkling wordplay, unforgettable characters, puzzles and riddles, are poignant moments of nostalgia for a lost childhood. Original and experimental, adapted into countless film and television versions as Alice in Wonderland, the Alice books give readers a window on both child and adult worlds.
