(London: Macmillan, 1914).

The Alice books have proven themselves to be among the most enduring classics of literature--for children or adults. ALICE’s importance might be gauged by the fact that it is one of only three books written for children (five, if one includes Aesop's Fables and Froebel's “Mutter- und Kose-Leider”) included in the "Printing and the Mind of Man" exhibition.
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and its sequel, THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, are "unique among 'juveniles' in appealing equally--if not more strongly --to adults. Written by an Oxford don, a clergyman, and a professional mathematician, they abound in characters--the White Knight, the Red Queen, the Mad Hatter, Humpty Dumpty--who are a part of everybody's mental furniture. And the philosophic profundity of scores, if not hundreds, of these characters' observations, long household words wherever English is spoken, gains mightily from the delicious fantasy of their setting" (PMM 354).
Tenniel's illustrations are some of the most charming to ever appear in children's literature. These are original to the Alice story and are reproduced here, along with the text-block, essentially just as those in the first edition. Item #34742
