Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

by Lewis Carroll (Author), Lewis Carroll (Author), Lewis Carroll (Author), Helen Oxenbury (Illustrator)

Synopsis

A multi-award-winning classic - now in paperback. For over a hundred years, Lewis Carroll's classic story of logic and lunacy has delighted young and old alike. More abundantly illustrated than previous editions, this award-winning interpretation is full of warmth and humour. The whole approach is contemporary and accessible: Alice herself is a child of today - casually dressed, personable, spirited. In Helen Oxenbury's hands, the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland is a wondrous place indeed! One of the most talked about children's books of 1999, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland won the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Kurt Maschler Award.

Author Bio
Lewis Carroll (1832-98) was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who taught mathematics at Christ Church College, Oxford. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland grew from a tale he told eleven-year-old Alice Liddell and a true heroine was born - spirited and resourceful in the face of confusion. Helen Oxenbury is one of today's foremost illustrators and has won many awards including the Kate Greenaway twice - in 1969 for The Quangle Wangle's Hat and The Dragon of an Ordinary Family and again in 1999 for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. She has also won the Smarties Book Prize three times for Farmer Duck, We're Going on a Bear Hunt and So Much.
