Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

Following a waistcoated rabbit down a hole lands Alice in a country where size, logic and good manners all behave unpredictably. Lewis Carroll fills Wonderland with figures who long ago left the book behind, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts among them, and much of the comedy comes from Alice applying ordinary Victorian politeness to creatures who ignore it entirely. Wordplay, nonsense verse and sudden changes of scale keep the tone light while the questions underneath, about growing up and about who Alice is, stay open. This deluxe hardbound edition suits gifting and long shelf life. Marks of this edition: • A deluxe hardbound binding intended for collections and gifts • Characters recognised far beyond the page, from the Hatter to the Queen • Nonsense verse and wordplay running through the text • A window onto Victorian manners for older readers A good fit for children reading with an adult, students of children's literature and collectors, available at Boipoka.
