Hardback Definitive Edition

Familiar creatures and everyday objects doing extraordinary things - this is the wit - and the terror - of Alice's tumble down the rabbit-hole. Tea anyone?

This is a book that every Alice fan should own! It is an annotated single-volume edition, which contains the complete text of both "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass", including the original Tenniel illustrations.

Gardner's annotations in the margins of the pages explain many of the meanings hidden in Lewis Carroll's books. I own a copy myself (not this version but the one from september 1998 which can still be bought too if you click here), and I consider it to be the Bible for Alice lovers!

This new volume combines the notes of Gardner's "The Annotated Alice" (1960) and the update "More Annotated Alice (1990)", as well as additional new discoveries and updates drawn from Gardner's encyclopedic knowledge of the texts.

It is illustrated with John Tenniel's original pictures along with many recently discovered Tenniel pencil sketches.
