Two journeys into Wonderland

This volume brings together Alice’s adventures underground and her journey through the looking-glass, linking two fantastical settings through Carroll’s playful use of the impossible. Its encounters with figures such as the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee place imaginative absurdity alongside concerns about growing up. The publisher’s description also frames the books as satire of rigid Victorian society, giving the make-believe a social dimension. This edition includes an introduction by Erin Morgenstern.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in classic fantasy and imaginative worlds.
  • For those exploring literary nonsense and satire.
  • For readers interested in stories that connect childhood imagination with the complexities of growing up.

Book overview

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards, ' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.
