The topsy-turvy dream worlds of Wonderland and the Looking-Glass realm are full of the unexpected: A baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a "mad" tea-party, and a chaotic game of chess turns seven-year-old Alice into a queen. These unforgettable tales--filled with sparkling wordplay and unbridled imagination--balance joyous nonsense with poignant moments of longing for the lost innocence of childhood. <p/>For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

I always loved the book and I always loved the various characters, the psychedelic nature of it and kind-of odd allegorical stories inside stories. I always thought it was beautiful."<br><b> -Jonny Depp<br></b><br>"Wonderland and the world through the Looking Glass were, I always knew, different from other imagined worlds. Nothing could be changed, although things in the story were always changing...Carroll moves his readers as he moves chess pieces and playing cards."<br><b> -A. S. Byatt</b> <p/>"It would not have occurred to me even to suspect that the "children's tale" was in brilliant ways coded to be read by adults and was in fact an English classic, a universally acclaimed intellectual tour de force and what might be described as a psychological/anthropological dissection of Victorian England. It seems not to have occurred to me that the child-Alice of drawing rooms, servants, tea and crumpets and chess, was of a distinctly different background than my own. I must have been the ideal reader: credulous, unjudging, eager, thrilled. I knew only that I believed in Alice, absolutely."<br><b> -Joyce Carol Oates</b> <p/>"The <i>Alices</i> are the greatest nonsense ever written, and far greater, in my view, than most sense."<br><b> -Philip Pullman</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>LEWIS CARROLL </b>(1832-1898), the penname of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, is one of Western literature's most beloved and influential writers. <p/><b>CHARLIE LOVETT </b>is the author of the <i>New York Times </i>bestseller <i>The Bookman's Tale </i>and <i>First Impressions</i>. <p/><b>SIR JOHN TENNIEL </b>(1820-1914) was best known for illustrating the works of Lewis Carroll and for his political cartoons in <i>Punch </i>magazine.
