Alice In Wonderland

A rabbit with a pocket watch sends Alice down a hole and into a country where logic runs on its own rules. Lewis Carroll wrote the book for a child he knew, and it has never settled into being only a children's story. Wordplay, riddles, songs and arguments about meaning fill the chapters, from the caucus race to the trial, and the humour works on two levels so adults reading aloud get their own share. The episodes are self-contained enough to read a chapter at a time, and the nonsense has survived translation into more languages than almost any other English book for children. Its phrases have long since entered ordinary speech. On closer inspection: • The complete text of Carroll's Wonderland story • Wordplay and logical jokes pitched at children and adults together • Self-contained chapters that suit short reading sessions • A foundation text of English nonsense literature A fit for young readers, families reading together and collectors of children's classics, available from Boipoka.
