This beautifully produced Wilco Classics sprayed-edge hardback brings together two of literature's most beloved fantasies in a single volume: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Written by Lewis Carroll, these stories follow Alice as she tumbles down a rabbit hole and steps through a mirror into topsy-turvy worlds ruled by riddles, talking creatures and mischievous logic.

About the Book. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland begins with a curious girl chasing a White Rabbit down a hole into a world where a Cheshire Cat grins from tree branches, a Mad Hatter hosts an endless tea party, and a short-tempered Queen of Hearts demands instant executions over the smallest offence. Alice must navigate shrinking potions, growing cakes and a courtroom of playing cards, all while holding onto her sense of self amid the nonsense. Through the Looking-Glass carries her further into a chessboard-shaped realm where she becomes a pawn working toward becoming a queen, meeting Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the flustered White Queen, and reciting the celebrated nonsense poem Jabberwocky. Together, bound in one handsome hardback, these two novels showcase Carroll's gift for wordplay, whimsical logic and unforgettable characters. Tenniel's original illustrations have shaped how generations picture Wonderland, and the stories remain a touchstone of English literature, endlessly referenced in art, film and everyday language. This edition's durable hardback casing and decorative sprayed page edges make it as satisfying to display as it is to read, while the unabridged text preserves Carroll's original wit for readers m
