I cried, Come, tell me how you live! And thumped him on the head. Conjuring wily walruses, dancing lobsters, a Jabberwock and a Bandersnatch, Carroll's fantastical verse gave new words to the English language.

One day, Alice climbs through the big Looking-glass above the fire... and into Looking-glass Land. Here, everything is back to front and the garden is a giant chessboard. The Red Queen tells Alice that when she reaches the eighth square, she can be a queen, too. Will Alice reach the eighth square and become queen?

One sunny day, Alice follows a White Rabbit down a rabbit hole... and into Wonderland! Wonderland is a very strange place and lots of very strange people live there. Alice has some wonderful adventures with the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Cheshire Cat. And she even plays a game of croquet with the frightening Queen of Hearts!

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).

First published by Macmillan in 1907, this charming miniature edition of Carroll's classic tale is specially abridged for younger readers, a sixth of the length of the original 1865 edition. It features 32 brightly coloured illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, uniquely featuring Alice in a red dress. Faithfully reproduced from a rare archive copy, this unique little book retains all the charm of the historic original. With luxurious red Wibalin binding and gold sprayed edges, it is the perfect celebration of Alice's special anniversary, and a wonderful gift for fans of every age.

«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».»

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.
