Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland appears here alongside its sequel, Through the Looking Glass, both illustrated throughout by Sir John Tenniel, whose drawings add enormously to the pleasure of reading them. Familiar figures crowd the pages – Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit – all of them now embedded in everyday writing, conversation and idiom. The same is true of Carroll’s delightful verses, among them ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’ and the inspired nonsense of that masterly Wordsworthian parody, ‘The Jabberwocky’.
