About this book
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through
the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, tell the story of a young
girl in a fantasy world filled with peculiar, anthropomorphic
creatures. The classic tale of literary nonsense takes the reader on an
exploration of logic and absurdities. The Alice books — sometimes
combined or referred to with the abbreviated title Alice in Wonderland —
have been translated into at least 97 languages with over a hundred
different editions. The books have also been adapted numerous times into
films (both live-action and cartoon), plays, and musicals.
First Edition Identification
Macmillian first published
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in 1865 with illustrations by John Tenniel.
The first print run was only 2,000 copies before it was recalled due to “print
quality.” Only two dozen or so copies of the legendary “Sixty-five Alice” are
now known to survive. Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There was
later published in 1871.
