Description
A lazy afternoon by the water melts away into a wild adventure when young Alice chases a mysterious White Rabbit straight into Wonderland. Created as a gift to one of his favorite young fans, Alice Liddell, this tale is Carroll's signature masterpiece of imaginative nonsense and trickery. Filled with characters and scenes that grow ever "curiouser and curiouser," this is a dazzling romp for young and old alike, as vivid and ethereal as only the best of dreams can be.

About the Author
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a.k.a. Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) was a magician of wordplay and imagination. Not only a writer, he was a gifted mathematician, logician, and a pioneering expert in the field of photography. Seeming at times to hail from one of the whimsical lands of his own making, Carroll led a charmed existence filled with friendships and admiration. An aura of glamour and mystery continues to surround Carroll's legend, as his work and identity are continual subjects of debate to this day. Although he is best known for his masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland, Carroll's other novels and poems, among them Through the Looking Glass, Jabberwocky, Sylvie and Bruno, and The Hunting of the Snark, offer timeless delight to readers of all ages.

Curiouser and curiouser!
This book showed me that curiosities are worth chasing after, for better or for worse.
