description: In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer Createda story about a little girl fumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of fthe Alice books- with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts. Tweedledum and Tweedledee. the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et a -by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language. a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history Perhaps., as Dodgson might have said, Aice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up-or down, or all turned round as seen through the expert eyes of a child. This edition includes the original illustrations by John T and an introduction by Morton N. Cohen.
