"Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Alice: and she had a very curious dream. Would you like to hear what it was that she dreamed about? Well, this was the first thing that happened. A White Rabbit came running by, in a great hurry; and, just as it passed Alice, it stopped, and took its watch out of its pocket."

A delightfully twisted pair of tales published first in 1865 and 1872 respectively, these beloved children''s stories were rife with political satire and social commentary of the day, even as they included friends of the author among the peculiar and anthropomorphic characters. Their nonsensical logic has influenced virtually every author of fantasy since, as well as inspiring countless worlds of wonder and the imagination. They remain as popular, and as profound today as when they first came into print; a feat remarkable in the fact that neither has ever not been available. This edition restores the original illustrations of Sir John Tenniel, a topical cartoonist whose classic caricatures gave us the most memorable depictions of Alice, and her adventures both in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. As life imitates art, these exploits came about as a way to entertain a very real little girl named Alice, whose alter ego was very bored, and let her young imagination carry her away...Alice in Wonderland - in which Alice follows a white rabbit in a waistcoat and hurriedly checking a pocket watch down what she believes to be the hole to his burrow. Instead, she falls slowly down a tunnel lined with curious objects, to land softly in a room with doors of different sizes. With the smallest of them behind a curtain before a table upon which sits a golden key and a potion labeled "Drink Me", she makes a fateful decision that leads her into a series of equally improbable and unforgettable situations...Through the Look Glass - in which Alice, now playing with the kitten of her cat in the first book, ponders the reflection in the wall mirror hung above the fireplace. Climbing up the mantle over the hearth, she leans against the glass and in a moment has passed through to its opposite side. Once there, she learns again just how contrary and unpredictable this other world beyond the one we know can be...
