“And what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation?” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland This Beautiful edition contains complete original black and white illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. Alice in Wonderland is an 1865 novel by English author Lewis Carroll. It tells of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. One of the best-known and most popular works of English-language fiction, its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. The work has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 97 languages. Its ongoing legacy encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, ballet, theme parks, board games and video games. A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf! Review: It's still a great story - It was a gift for a friend. When he was finished reading it, I finally reread it after all these years. Nice illustrations. Review: Beautiful Book. - Beautiful job as always by Canterbury Press. I don't think the paper is acid-free but the book is very well made and certainly worth the ~$20 I paid for it. The best part is the UPC and price tag are a peel off sticker! Thanks! Review written on 3-Nov-25 for ISBN: 1-60710-933-6

¡Fascinado con la edición! ❤️
Llegó dos días después de realizar el pago, muy rápido. Las cubiertas son hermosas, la portada, el lomo y la contraportada, los cantos son dorados, el papel de muy buen gramaje y la tipografía es adecuada. Además de las dos historias de Alicia, incluye "Sylvie and Bruno", y "A Tangled Tale", dos obras para mí desconocidas, aunque me hubiera gustado que también estuviera "El Juego de la Lógica". Volvería a comprar otra edición de esta colección.

O livro mais bonito da estante
A história de Alice é conhecida de todos, então, o que vale a pena mencionar é que essa edição conta com outros textos além de "no país das maravilhas" e "através dos espelhos", portanto, para o leitor brasileiro ela é mais completa e mais barata do que as alternativa nacionais. Além disso, a edição é absolutamente linda, todos os elementos da capa estão em "rebaixo ou auto relevo" e alguns são brilhantes. O único ponto negativo é a gramatura do papel, que é muito fino, o que lhe confere certa transparência; entretanto, a impressão do texto e dos desenhos é muito boa, chega a ser melhor do que a de algumas hqs. Para concluir o relato basta dizer que essa é, provavelmente, a edição mais bonita da estante, com material de grande qualidade e ótimo custo benefício.

A great addition to my Alice in Wonderland collection!!
Beautiful, beautiful book! Impeccable packaging! The book arrived in perfect condition (except for this little blue splotch on the cover, but meh) The illustrations are beautiful, and you have quite a collection of Lewis Carroll's stories along with Alice in Wonderland!
