Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

Über den Autor Lewis Carroll

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson alias Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) zählt zu den bekanntesten Schriftstellern des viktorianischen Zeitalters. Mit »Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland« und »Througt the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There« schuf er Weltliteratur. Der Sohn eine Pfarrers studierte Mathematik, Theologie und Klassische Literatur in Oxford (Christ Church) und war dort nach dem Studium als Tutor für Mathematik angestellt. Die Idee zu den Alice-Geschichten kam ihm während eines Ausflugs an der Themse mit der kleinen Alice Pleasance Liddell und ihren Geschwistern. Neben den Alice-Geschichten zählen Gedichte, mathematische Schriften und Rätselbücher sowie der Roman »Sylvie and Bruno« zu Carrolls Werk. Er starb im Januar 1898 an den Folgen einer Lungenentzündung.
