Lewis Carroll published "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in 1865 and "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There" in 1872.

Produktbeschreibung
Lewis Carroll published "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in 1865 and "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There" in 1872. In the entry in his diary for 15 February 1881 he records: "I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a 'Nursery Edition' of Alice with pictures printed in." On 20th February 1889, some eight years later, after much preparation and negotiation with both publisher and illustrator, the text was at last ready. The illustrator was John Tenniel, who coloured twenty of his original illustrations in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" for this "Nursery Edition". The front and back cover (reprinted here as the frontispiece and on page xiv) were designed by Carroll's friend Emily Gertrude Thomson. The story itself is intended for pre-school children "aged from Nought to Five". Running to just under 7,000 words, it is considerably shorter than both "Alice's Adventures under Ground" (15,500 words) and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (27,500 words). Much of the narrative consists of the author's addressing the young listener, explaining the story by reference to the illustrations. The effect is rather charming, particularly where Carroll pokes fun at features in Tenniel's illustrations. These were quite skilfully and attractively coloured.
Autorenporträt
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which includes the poem "Jabberwocky" and the poem The Hunting of the Snark - all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic and fantasy. There are societies in many parts of the world dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life.
