First published by Macmillan in 1903, the Little Folks' editions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass were charming miniature versions of Lewis Carroll's two classic Wonderland tales, specially abridged for younger readers. This new edition brings the two titles together for the first time in a beautiful gift book, reproduced from rare archive copies of the original books, with over sixty original full-colour illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.

This unique little book retains all the charm of the historic originals. With luxurious red cloth binding, gold blocking, and gold sprayed edges, it is the perfect celebration of the 150th anniversary of Through the Looking-Glass; a wonderful gift for fans of every age, an introduction to Alice and Wonderland for younger children, and a must-have for every collector's bookshelf.

About the Author

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 the world over 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.
