Free Download Alice's Adventures in Wonderland #1-2 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll
Weary of her storybook, one "without pictures or conversations", the young and imaginitive Alice follows a hasty hare undergground - to come face-to-face with some of the strangest adventures and most fantastic characters in all of literature. The Ugly Duchess, the Mad Hatter, the weeping Moch Turtle, the diabolical Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat - each more eccentric than the last - could only have come from that master of sublime nonsense, Lewis Carroll. In prenning this brilliant burlesque of children's literature, this farcical satire of rigid Victorian society, this arresting parody of the fears, anxieties, and complexities of growing up, Carroll was one of the few adult writers to enter successfully the children's world of make-believe, where the impossible becomes possible, the unreal, real, and where the heights of adventure are limited only be the depths of imagination. With a new introduction by Martin Gardner and the original illustrations by John Tenniel.
