Abstract
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871), are Lewis Carroll’s most celebrated works. They blend a simplicity of conception with a vivid imagination and a gift for inspired nonsense, and they were written for the amusement of children, particularly the three daughters of H. G. Liddell, the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford. Both books were illustrated by Sir John Tenniel.
