Alice's Adventures in Wonderland tells of Alice, a girl who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale’s distorted and sometimes disorienting logic has contributed to its enduring popularity with adults as well as with children. It is one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course, structure, characters, and imagery have all been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature.

In Through the Looking Glass, Alice once again finds herself transported to a bizarre and nonsensical setting after she passes through a mirror into the “looking-glass world,” where precisely nothing is quite as it seems, and where almost everything is reversed. 

This handsome, inexpensive edition, complete with the original John Tenniel illustrations, makes available to today's readers a classic of juvenile literature long-cherished for its humor, whimsy, and incomparable fantasy.
Lewis Carroll（路易士．卡羅爾）His real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was born in 1832 in a small village in the northwest of England. Charles studied Mathematics at Christ Church College, Oxford. After his degree he became a teacher of Mathematics at Christ Church but he didn’t enjoy this job very much. In 1856 he published his first piece of work, a poem, under the name Lewis Carroll. His best-known work, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, was published in 1865.
It was a great success and Carroll became rich and famous but he continued to teach. In 1871 he published another ‘Alice’ book called Alice Through the Looking Glass. He finally stopped teaching in 1881 to concentrate on writing. He was a good photographer and he took many photographs of Alice Liddell, one of the daughters of the Dean of Christ Church.
She was the model for the Alice in his stories. Carroll never moved away from Christ Church College and he never married. He died in January 1898 and he is buried in Guildford, where his sisters had a house.
