Overview

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is the definite in Children’s Classics and is rightfully listed as required reading for boys and girls. It is indeed an exceptionally imaginative story of a little girl in the land of fantasy.

Young readers will easily identify themselves with Alice, who, after chasing a most distinguished rabbit into a deep pit, tumbles into a string of adventures. From a swim in a lake of her own tears to an afternoon tea, she meets episodically a variety of original personalities; for instance, she befriends a disappearing cat, or stands up against the intolerance of a queen of hearts. Together with Alice, the young readers will experience adventure and witness humorous conversations, but above all, they will learn to approach others with optimism and a good heart.


This new adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s fictional tale retains its original beauty and lively language, yet now specifically caters to today’s kids. This version is so styled to captivate the attention of the youngest listeners but also promises to be successfully received by beginning readers.
The book is richly illustrated by the renowned Polish artist, Martin Poludniak, who distinguishes himself by a fine technique which radiates joy and warmth.

About the Author

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was a man of diverse interests -- in mathematics, logic, photgraphy, art, theater, religion, medicine, and science. He was happiest in the company of children for whom he created puzzles, clever games, and charming letters.

As all Carroll admirers know, his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), became an immediate success and has since been translated into more than eighty languages. The equally popular sequel Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, was published in 1872.

The Alice books are but one example of his wide ranging authorship. The Hunting of the Snark, a classic nonsense epic (1876) and Euclid and His Modern Rivals, a rare example of humorous work concerning mathematics, still entice and intrigue today's students. Sylvie and Bruno, published toward the end of his life contains startling ideas including an 1889 description of weightlessness.

The humor, sparkling wit and genius of this Victorian Englishman have lasted for more than a century. His books are among the most quoted works in the English language, and his influence (with that of his illustrator, Sir John Tenniel) can be seen everywhere, from the world of advertising to that of atomic physics.
