Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the LookingGlass

<p>First published in 1865, <em>Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland</em> began as a story told to Alice Liddell and her two sisters on a boating trip in July 1862. The novel follows Alice down a rabbit-hole and into a world of strange and wonderful characters who constantly turn everything upside down with their mind-boggling logic, word play, and fantastic parodies. The sequel, <em>Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There</em>, was published in 1871, and was both a popular success and appreciated by critics for its wit and philosophical sophistication.</p><p>Along with both novels and the original Tenniel illustrations, this edition includes Carroll’s earlier story <em>Alice’s Adventures Under Ground</em>. Appendices include Carroll’s photographs of the Liddell sisters, materials on film and television adaptations, selections from other “looking-glass” books for children, and “The Wasp in a Wig,” an originally deleted section of <em>Through the Looking-Glass</em>.</p>
