Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice "without pictures or conversation?"

Quotations

And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.

Book description

Ageless… independent readers beginning late primary/early intermediate, read-aloud in primary grades. John Tenniel’s illustrations are reproduced here, with an afterword by Peter Glassman that explains the process by which the woodcuts were included (they found the actual blocks moldering somewhere!) Gold-leafed pages. The classic look and feel of Alice.
