Complete Alice

The Complete Alice includes both Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, and is the ultimate edition of Lewis Carroll’s much-loved classic. From the original publisher, Macmillan, this edition has a foreword by Philip Pullman and is packed full of amazing exclusive extra features from the Macmillan archive. The Complete Alice also has a glorious freshly-designed cover with intricate embossed and foiled details, head and tail bands, foiled edges and a ribbon marker, making this a gift edition to treasure forever.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice has been enchanting children for over 150 years. Curious Alice, the White Rabbit, the formidable Queen of Hearts, the Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and the Red and White Queens are among the best loved, most iconic literary creations of all time.

Macmillan was the original publisher of both Alice books, in 1865 and 1871, and is proud to remain true to the vision of its creators. This stunning treasury reproduces every word of Carroll’s masterpieces and also includes the ‘lost’ chapter The Wasp in a Wig. The dreamlike illustrations, colour versions of Sir John Tenniel’s originals, were produced in 1911 by celebrated artist Harry Theaker, under the direction of Tenniel himself, and the series completed by contemporary watercolourist Diz Wallis.

Curiouser and curiouser! Lively and authoritative non-fiction content draws on Macmillan’s rich historical archive to tell the real-life story of how the Alice stories were written and published, making this the perfect gift for all fans of Alice, young and old.
