Alice's adventures in wonderland & through the looking-glass

The fantastical adventures of Alice, from tumbling down the rabbit-hole through her encounters with the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and other unforgettable characters, are probably the most enduring stories ever written, loved by adults and children alike. Lewis Carroll's classic books are illustrated here by Mervyn Peake, author of the famed Gormenghast trilogy, who brilliantly captures Carroll's dreamlike combination of impossible events, precise detail, and weird logic. Peake's pen-and-ink drawings, commissioned in the 1940s, have been restored to their former clarity. Bringing together Carroll's timeless masterpieces and Peake's extraordinary drawings, with introductions by Will Self and Zadie Smith, this edition captures the playful, satirical and mysterious essence of Carroll's Alice stories.
