Synopsis Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a surreal work of literary nonsense written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantastic realm populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures.The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense,and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential in the fantasy genre. ---------- About the Author/Illustrator---------- Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense. His facility at word play, logic, and fantasy has delighted audiences ranging from children to the literary elite, and beyond this his work has become embedded deeply in modern culture, directly influencing many artists. Sir John Tenniel (1820–1914) was an English illustrator. He was born in London and was self educated, although he became a probationer, and eventually a student, of the Royal Academy. He began his career drawing topical cartoons and caricatures for "Punch" in the mid 19th century. In 1865 he illustrated the first edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The book became an instant best-seller, securing Tenniel's lasting fame in the process. Tenniel's illustrations for Carroll's works have taken their place among the most famous literary illustrations ever made. ---------- Return Policy---------- If you are unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, a FULL refund will be issued so long as I am notified within 14 days after you recieve your purchase.
