Alice's Adventures in Wonderland





'So many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible' Alice in Wonderland

Bored on a hot afternoon, Alice, a bright and inquisitive child, follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole, and finds herself in Wonderland, a very odd place indeed. This unique story mixes satire and puzzles, comedy and anxiety, Mock Turtles and Gryphos to provide an astute description of the experience of childhood.

Lewis Carroll's beloved and witty story was made into an animated film by Disney in 1951. It is also the inspiration for Tim Burton's 2010 film where an adult Alice returns to the peculiar world she discovered as a child. The film features Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway among a cast of British stars

Praise for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

A book of wonder and nonsense laced with lethal wit

Guardian

Without these two books in my childhood I doubt whether my imagination would have developed at all

Kate Atkinson

A marvellous confidence in the primacy of the imagination

Will Self

Two nightmare destinations. Wonderland and Looking Glass. The more I read these books, the darker they shine.. Carroll operates on language like a cruel, crazy surgeon

Jeff Noon

Precise, dream-like, subversive

Quentin Blake, Independent on Sunday

The clue to the enduring fascination and greatness of the Alice books lies in language. . .. It is play, and word-play, and its endless intriguing puzzles continue to reveal themselves long after we have ceased to be children

A. S. Byatt

Only Lewis Carroll has shown us the world upside down the way a child sees it, and has made us laugh as children laugh

Virginia Woolf

Precise, dream-like, subversive
