Alice
In Wonderland
ISBN 0553213458 EAN: 9780553213454 Bantam Paperback (10+)
WB Price: $6.95
In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford
mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down
a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most
popular heroine in English literature. Countless scholars have tried to define
the charm of the "Alice books--with those wonderfully eccentric characters
the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle,
the Mad Hatter et al.--by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on
language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's literature,
even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson
might have said, "Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about a
trials and tribulations of growing up--or down, or all tumed round--as seen
through the expert eyes of a child.17.48 cms L x 10.72 cms W (0.12 kgs) 256
