Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1865, Lewis Carroll's endearing tales of an imaginative child's dream world are written with charming simplicity. While delighting children with a heroine who represents their own thoughts and feelings about growing up, the tale is appreciated by adults as a gentle satire on education, politics, literature, and Victorian life in general. All the delightful and bizarre inhabitants of Wonderland are here: the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat, the hookasmoking Caterpillar and the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Ugly Duchess...and, of course, Alice herself - growing alternately taller and smaller, attending demented tea parties and eccentric croquet games, and observing everything with clarity and rational amazement.
