«Alice è una bambina che, per seguire un coniglio bianco, cade in un pozzo profondissimo sul fondo del quale si aprono le porte di un mondo fantastico. Personaggi irreali e avventure incredibili le fanno trascorrere momenti felici fino all'immancabile risveglio. Il volume contiene, oltre alla più nota «Alice nel paese delle Meraviglie», anche il seguito delle avventure della bambina, intitolato «Attraverso lo specchio».» |

Come un'innocente gita al fiume può trasformarsi nella più inimmaginabile avventura della letteratura europea? Semplicemente inseguendo un coniglio bianco con un panciotto e un orologio da taschino. Comincia così, senza stupore, il viaggio di Alice nel paese delle meraviglie, uno strano mondo abitato da animali parlanti e stizzosi, sorridenti e sentenziosi. Ma la sua storia non è solo il capolavoro fiabesco che tutti hanno conosciuto, è anche una fitta trama di significati nascosti e palesi nonsensi, imbastita per scardinare le logiche anguste dei precetti morali. Il viaggio di Alice diventa così occasione, per adulti e bambini, di scoprire la luminosa mutevolezza di tutte le cose. |

A oltre un secolo dalla sua pubblicazione, Alice, come romanzo e come personaggio, conserva ancora intatta tutta la sua freschezza, incantando non solo i più giovani ma anche gli adulti, che nel suo mondo meraviglioso scoprono un altro sé, pronto a sfidare ardui giochi linguistici, entusiasmanti trucchi psicologici, situazioni impossibili che mettono in discussione la realtà e svelano l'irresistibile fascino dell'assurdo. In un romanzo in cui la sospensione dell'incredulità è d'obbligo, il gusto del gioco non può essere dimenticato e va riscoperto con occhi che sappiano guardare al di là del consueto. Perché qui è l'essenza della vita, e forse tra i sogni segreti di tanti c'è proprio la tana di un coniglio bianco in cui perdersi, uno specchio al di là del quale riscoprire la bellezza della vita reale. È letteratura per ragazzi? È un libro da leggere punto e basta. Premessa di Simona Vinci, introduzione e note di Paola Faini. |

On an ordinary summer's afternoon, Alice tumbles down a hole and an extraordinary adventure begins. In a strange world with even stranger characters, she meets a rabbit with a pocket watch, joins a Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and plays croquet with the Queen! Lost in this fantasy land, Alice finds herself growing more and more curious by the minute... With a wonderfully inspiring introduction by Chris Riddell, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of the twelve brilliant classic stories being relaunched in Puffin Classics in March 2008. |

When Alice steps through the looking-glass, she enters a very strange world of chess pieces and nursery rhyme characters such as Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledee and Tweedledum and the angry Red Queen. Nothing is what it seems and, in fact, through the looking-glass, everything is distorted. |

This everlasting literary diary has been specially commissioned from Rosemary Gray. It has one page per day, and each contains apposite quotes taken from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking-Glass and one of Sir John Tenniel's superb illustrations. Because each day is dated, but not named, it is suitable for use in any calendar year — or perhaps as a birthday and anniversary book. It is uniform in size with the rest of The Collector's Library, and will make an elegant and handy keepsake. 2014 is the 150th anniversary of Alice's Adventure's Under Ground, the manuscript that Lewis Carroll presented to Alice Liddell and which was developed into Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865. Sir John Tenniel was a British illustrator, graphic humourist and political cartoonist whose work was prominent during the second half of the 19th century. He was the principal political cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years and was knighted by Queen Victoria for his artistic achievements in 1893. |

I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a 'Nursery Edition' of Alice with pictures printed in. Lewis Carroll's diary, 15th February, 1881 The Nursery Alice, originally published by Macmillan & Co. in 1890, was the very first colour edition of Alice. It was intended, wrote Carroll, to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five. To be read? Nay, not so! Say rather to be thumbed, to be cooed over, to be dogs eared, to be rumpled, to be kissed... With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote Alice, simplifying and abridging the original text, while Tenniel redrew, enlarged and coloured twenty of his iconic illustrations. The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience, readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images and even the physical book itself, in a way that is thoroughly modern. Gloriously reproduced for the anniversary year, the present edition retains the every word of the original and restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel's artwork — lost in reproductions across the decades — along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson. This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to Alice, a delight for readers of every age. |

Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to a place even curiouser than Wonderland. She finds herself caught up in the great looking-glass chess game and sets off to become a queen. It isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by nonsense characters who crop up and insist on reciting poems. Some of these poems, such as 'The Walrus and The Carpenter' and 'Jabberwocky', are as famous as the Alice stories themselves. Macmillan was the original publisher of Alice in 1865 and is proud to remain true to the vision of its creators. Every bit as iconic are Sir John Tenniel's remarkable illustrations, perfectly capturing the combination of the ordinary and the extraordinary at the heart of Wonderland. |

Lewis Carroll's Wonderland characters are as fresh and engaging as the day he dreamt them up. Here, for young readers, is a glorious introduction to Alice's magical universe from bestselling illustrator Eric Puybaret. Puybaret's rich, jewel-like illustrations perfectly capture the wit and whimsy of Wonderland, while the elegantly simplified text retains Carroll's most memorable lines, such as Curiouser and curiouser and Oh dear, oh dear, I shall be too late. Fresh, modern and gloriously colourful, this is an enchanting first step down the rabbit hole and into the world of Alice. Includes a story CD, read by Downton Abbey's Joanne Froggatt (Anna). |
