The Annotated Alice: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

by Lewis Carroll

The Annotated Alice: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For over half a century, Martin Gardner has established himself as one of the world's leading authorities on Lewis Carroll. His Annotated Alice, first published in 1960, has over half a million copies in print around the world and is highly sought after by families and scholars alike-for it was Gardner who first decoded the wordplay and the many mathematical riddles that lie embedded in Carroll's two classic stories: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Forty years after this groundbreaking publication, Norton is proud to publish the Definitive Edition of The Annotated Alice, a work that combines the notes of Gardner's 1960 edition with his 1990 update, More Annotated Alice, as well as additional new discoveries and updates drawn from Gardner's encyclopedic knowledge of the texts. Illustrated with John Tenniel's classic and beloved art - along with many recently discovered Tenniel pencil sketches - The Annotated Alice will be Gardner's most beautiful and enduring tribute to Carroll's masterpieces yet.

Book News Annotation:

Updating a classic edition of a literary classic, Martin Gardner combines the notes from his 1959 and 1990 editions with new discoveries and additions from his extensive knowledge of the text and the period and with a few more contemporary drawings by John Tenniel. Notes in the wide margins identify characters and events that Carroll (1832-98) lampooned in his famous work of fantasy, and compare some of his earlier or other passages. He includes a selected bibliography and a list of movie adaptations. Cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed.
