In \u003cem\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e, Carroll creates a realm of anarchic wonder where a grinning Cheshire Cat dispenses cryptic wisdom, the Queen demands executions at whim, and a caterpillar smoking a hookah asks the most unsettling questions. Alice navigates this topsy-turvy landscape with pluck and bewilderment, encountering characters both laconic and terrifying, all rendered unforgettable through their sheer strangeness and Carroll's razor-sharp wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2 animate-in fade-in-25 duration-700\"\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThrough the Looking-Glass\u003c\/em\u003e, Alice's second journey takes her beyond the mirror into a chess-like world where she must journey from pawn to queen, encountering Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the vain and vulnerable Humpty Dumpty, and the Red Queen herself—terrifying in her casual cruelty. These two classics, collected here in one exquisite Macmillan Collector's Library edition and brought to life by Sir John Tenniel's legendary black-and-white illustrations, have enchanted readers for more than 150 years. Selected for \u003cem\u003eThe Great American Read\u003c\/em\u003e, a PBS series celebrating America's 100 most-loved books, these tales transcend their origins as stories told to a child on a summer's day to become profound meditations on language, logic, identity and the strange beauty of nonsense. With an afterword by Anna South, this beautifully bound pocket-sized edition is a treasured gift for readers discovering Carroll for the first time or returning to Wonderland as an adult.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Literary Cat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52855389880584,"sku":"9781909621572","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/7688\/0392\/files\/9781909621572.jpg?v=1763916284","url":"https:\/\/literarycatbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/alices-adventures-in-wonderland-through-the-looking-glass-macmillan-collectors-library-by-lewis-carroll-john-tenniel-anna-south","provider":"Literary Cat Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
