Alice's adventures in the dreamlike worlds of Wonderland and the Looking Glass Kingdom are some of the most original and best-loved children's stories ever written. These joyous, thrilling and utterly nonsensical tales are filled with vivid, unforgettable images and characters. This new edition contains the texts of both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass in a beautiful, clothbound flipped book - illustrated throughout in glorious colour. Floor Rieder's gorgeous drawings are an original and fresh imagining of Alice's topsy-turvy world.

Lewis Carroll was the pen name of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), who was a mathematician and Oxford academic, wrote works of satire and logic and was a keen photographer. He was also the most famous children's author of his day, celebrated for his Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, as well as his collections of nonsense verse, such as The Hunting of the Snark. Floor Rieder is a prizewinning illustrator of many books including The Mystery of Life by Jan Paul Schutten, for which she was given the Golden Pencil Award in her native Netherlands. Now she has created a new, timeless imagining of Lewis Carroll's Alice.
