Lewis Carroll's Alice has been enchanting children for over 150 years. Curious Alice, the White Rabbit, the formidable Queen of Hearts, the Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and the Red and White Queens are among the best loved, most iconic literary creations of all time.
Macmillan was the original publisher of both Alice books, in 1865 and 1871, and is proud to remain true to the vision of its creators. This stunning treasury reproduces every word of Carroll's masterpieces and also includes the 'lost' chapter The Wasp in a Wig. The dreamlike illustrations, colour versions of Sir John Tenniel's originals, were produced in 1911 by celebrated artist Harry Theaker, under the direction of Tenniel himself, and the series completed by contemporary watercolourist Diz Wallis.
Curiouser and curiouser! Lively and authoritative non-fiction content draws on Macmillan's rich historical archive to tell the real-life story of how the Alice stories were written and published, making this the perfect gift for all fans of Alice, young and old.

Lewis Carroll was the pen-name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Born in 1832, Dodgson was a mathematics tutor at Christ Church College, Oxford, where he met Alice Liddell, daughter of the dean, and inspiration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, have delighted children all over the world for 150 years. Sir John Tenniel was already a renowned cartoonist when he was invited to produce illustrations for Alice. His exquisite engravings are among the most iconic and best loved images in the world. Harry Theaker (1873-1954) was a celebrated Edwardian watercolour artist, illustrator of Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies. Diz Wallis is a critically acclaimed contemporary watercolourist, with clients as varied as Royal Mail and Transport for London.
