DESCRIPTION
Complete in two volumes.
Illustrated throughout with full colour pages and numerous in-text colour and monochrome images.
Written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, an English author, poet, mathematician and photographer. Best known for these works and his use of the literary nonsense genre.
Illustrated by Helen Gillian Oxenbury, an English illustrator and writer of children's picture books.
This set includes:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, 2001. The sixth impression of the work.
The story of a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures.
Through the Looking-Glass, 2008. The first impression of the work.
Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. She soon finds that, just like a reflection, everything is reversed, including logic.
