Lewis Carroll

‘Curiouser and curiouser!’With covers intricately created by artists from ARTHOUSE Unlimited, a charity presenting the artistic talents of adults with complex neuro-diverse and physical support needs. Offering a sense of purpose lies at the heart of the charity. After a young girl named Alice takes a tumble down a rabbit hole, she finds a magical and nonsensical place called Wonderland. As Alice searches for a way home, she drinks potions to make her shrink and eats cake to make her grow. She meets many curious people and creatures: the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the frightening Queen of Hearts. Nothing makes sense in Wonderland, including herself!

Lewis Carroll nejen že psal nadčasovým, neotřelým způsobem, jeho fantasknost až překvapivě trefně vyjadřuje dění našeho často nesrozumitelného světa. Domněnka, že něco je cosi, a pak se ukáže, že je to něco jiného, má souvislost se Snárkem a se čtením Carrolla samého. Dílo je u nás téměř neznámé, leč ve světě je po obou Alenkách třetím nejproslulejším. Snárk je metaforou všeho, po čem prahneme. Je tím, co mají společného úspěch, dokonalost, cíl, uspokojení, pochopení, prozření. Snárk je dosažení záměru, je to objev sám, život věčný. Uniká nám však, mění se pod rukama, až je to k polekání…

Original, experimental, and charmingly nonsensical, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland follows seven-year-old Alice down a rabbit hole and into the topsy-turvy dream world of Wonderland. In this fantastical place, food can shrink you to the size of a mouse, or turn you into a giant, babies turn into pigs, and time stands still at the Mad Hatter's tea party. Filled with sparkling wordplay and unbridled imagination, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has enchanted readers for generations. 

The Hunting of the Snark relates in glittering verse the story of how the Bellman and his eccentric crew, who include a butcher, a baker, a beaver and a tailor, set off in quest of that most mysterious and elusive of creatures: the Snark. In 1959, Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomin Valley and its magical inhabitants, was commissioned to illustrate a Swedish edition of Lewis Carroll's miniature masterpiece. It proved an inspired choice, as the enigmatic charms of Jansson's illustrative style bring to life the beauty and strangeness of Carroll's tale. The minds of two of the greatest children's authors of the past 150 years meet on the page. Remarkably, amid the success of Tove Jansson's Moomin books, her unique edition of The Hunting of the Snark was forgotten, and has been unavailable for over fifty years. Now, for the first time, these beautiful illustrations are matched with Lewis Carroll's original English text, so that readers can encounter this wonderful adventure afresh through the eyes of one of Europe's finest illustrators.

"I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a ''Nursery Edition'' of Alice with pictures printed in."? Lewis Carroll''s diary, 15th February 1881The Nursery Alice, originally published by Macmillan & Co. in 1890, was the very first colour edition of Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland. It was intended, wrote Carroll, "to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five. To be read? Nay, not so! Say rather to be thumbed, to be cooed over, to be dogs''-eared, to be rumpled, to be kissed . . ."With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote Alice himself, simplifying and abridging the original text, while Sir John Tenniel redrew, enlarged and coloured twenty of his iconic illustrations (with Alice in a yellow dress to reflect the 1890s craze for yellow!). The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience; readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images and even the physical book itself, in a way that is thoroughly modern.Gloriously reproduced by Macmillan, the original publishers of both Lewis Carroll''s Alice books, this edition retains every word of the original The Nursery Alice and restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel''s artwork - lost in reproductions across the decades - along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson. This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to Alice, and a delight for child and adult readers alike.
