They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap. Lewis Carroll's magnificent nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark features an unlikely cast of characters drawn from the Jabberwocky in Through the Looking Glass. This irresistible version is illustrated, and has an introduction by, Chris Riddell.

Neustále ohromená, zvídavá a taky hodně zvědavá Alenka se dostane do zvláštního světa, ve kterém nedává skoro nic smysl. Pronásleduje například mluvícího králíka s hodinkami a setkává se s dalšími podivnými stvořeními, která se chovají naprosto nepochopitelně. Anebo ona se chová nepochopitelně? A jak to asi vypadá za zrcadlem? Vydejte se s Alenkou do kraje divů a za zrcadlo a prožijte s ní dobrodružství, která jinde neprožijete.

One of the most classic of children's books, this reimagined edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is wonderfully retold and beautifully illustrated throughout by Andrea D'Aquino.

E furcsa ötletekkel teli, kalandos, vidám mesekönyv szerzője, Lewis Carroll, a múlt században élt matematikaprofesszor. Világhírűvé vált könyve immár a világ gyermekirodalmának klasszikusává vált, és szinte valamennyi nemzet nyelvén napvilágot látott. Az angolszász humor sajátos alkotása elvezeti az olvasót Csodaországba - amely valójában egy álomvilág, a Viktória királynő korabeli Anglia torzképe. Aki ismeri az angol történelmet, az a Szív Királynőben könnyen felismerheti a hirtelen haragú Viktóriát, s férjében, a pipogya Szív Királyban a jelentéktelen Albert herceget. De megtalálhatjuk e könyvben az angol igazságszolgáltatás, iskolarendszer vagy éppen sportszenvedély végletekig vitt, humoros torzképét is.

Popredný slovenský ilustrátor Dušan Kállay dostal za ilustrovanie knihy prestížnu Cenu H. Ch. Andersena a počas výstavy k 150. výročiu vydania Alice v krajine zázrakov získalo to slovenské hlavnú cenu Grolier Clubu ako najkrajšie vydanie spomedzi všetkých na svete. Príbehy o Alici v krajine zázrakov a za zrkadlom, ktoré povymýšľal a spísal ešte v 19. storočí anglický matematik a profesor na univerzite v Oxforde Lewis Carroll, sa stali obľúbenými prakticky na celom svete. Alicu poznajú deti a dospelí rovnako ako Pippi Dlhú pančuchu, Pinocchia alebo Medvedíka Pú. Je známa vec, že matematici majú už z titulu svojho zamestnania neraz veľkú tvorivú fantáziu a zmysel pre obdivuhodné kombinácie, paradoxy a nezmysly. Zmysel pre krásne a bláznivé nezmysly mal aj Lewis Carroll - a jeho Alica sa v tom fantastickom nezmyselnom svete pohybuje s detskou samozrejmosťou a bezstarostnosťou, až dospelí nevychádzajú z údivu. A občas si pritom aj zaveršuje a zaspieva. Jej bláznivé príbehy by mali pobaviť nielen deti, ale aj rodičov či už starých alebo mladých.

'I cried, "Come, tell me how you live!" And thumped him on the head.' Conjuring wily walruses, dancing lobsters, a Jabberwock and a Bandersnatch, Carroll's fantastical verse gave new words to the English language.

For a century and a half Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll's classic story of logic and lunacy, has delighted young and old alike. Gorgeously illustrated, this award-winning rendition is full of warmth and humour. The whole approach is contemporary and accessible: Alice herself is a child of today - casually dressed, personable, spirited. In Helen Oxenbury's hands, the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland is a wondrous place indeed!

The Macmillan Alice Colouring Book is a beautifully produced colouring book, with black line illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, taken from the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, with added decoration and imagery to stimulate the imagination and soothe the mind, as you lose yourself in Wonderland. This gorgeous colouring book, from the original publisher of Lewis Carroll's beloved masterpiece, features all of Wonderland's favourite characters, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen and of course Alice herself - just waiting to be brought to life with colour.

'I wish I could get through into looking-glass house,' Alice said. 'Let's pretend that the glass has gone soft and . . . Why, I do believe it has! It's turning into a kind of cloud!' A moment later Alice is inside the looking-glass world. There she finds herself part of a great game of chess, travelling through forests and jumping across brooks. The chess pieces talk and argue with her, give orders and repeat poems . . . It is the strangest dream that anyone ever had . .

This is a deluxe edition of Lewis Carroll's timeless tale of wondrously charming nonsense, in time for its 150th anniversary. When Alice follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole, little does she know that she is traveling to a world of magic where common-sense is turned upside-down. The dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the backwards Looking-Glass kingdom are full of the unexpected: a baby turns into a pig, time is missing at a tea-party, and a wild chess game makes the seven-year-old Alice a queen. Displaying Lewis Carroll's gift for sparkling wordplay, puzzles, and riddles, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass offer magical adventure, pointed satire of Victorian England, and playful explorations of sophisticated logic. Yet amid Carroll's antic humor and joyful creation, poignant moments of nostalgia for fleeting childhood give the stories extraordinary emotional depth. And wherever Carroll takes Alice, John Tenniel's iconic illustrations follow with whimsical depictions of her tizzying journeys. Original, experimental, and unparalleled for pure delight, the adventures of Alice in Wonderland are tales to be read and shared across generations.

Lewis Carroll's Alice has been enchanting children for 150 years. Curious Alice, the bossy White Rabbit, the formidable Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter are among the best-loved, most iconic literary creations of all time. Macmillan was the original publisher of Alice in 1865 and is proud to remain true to the vision of its creators. Every bit as iconic are Sir John Tenniel's remarkable black line illustrations, perfectly capturing the combination of the ordinary and the extraordinary at the heart of Wonderland. This beautiful, celebratory, edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has a gorgeous cover with shiny red foil, and is packed full of fun bonus material, including a quiz, wordsearch and a glossary. Lewis Carroll's classic children's book is brought to life like never before!

Az Alice Csodaországban hősnője ezúttal egy tükrön át lép be egy különös, bolondos birodalomba, ahol eleven sakkfigurák, egy zsemlepke és egy hintalódarázs fogadja. És a többi különös lényről még szó sem esett... "- A szabály ez: lekvár tegnap, lekvár holnap, de lekvár ma sosincs. - Hát valamikor csak kell lennie - ellenkezett Alice. - Dehogyis! - legyintett a Királynő. - Megmondtam: minden másnap lekvár. Ma pedig ma van, nem más nap. - Nem értem - mondta Alice. - Ez rémesen bonyolult. No és most vajon melyik útjelző táblát kövessem? Erre a kérdésre nem volt nehéz a válasz, mert csak egy út volt, és mindkét jelzőtábla arrafelé mutatott. Alice nevetett. - Nincs értelme - mondta -, a lehetetlent nem hiheti el az ember! - Szerintem nincs elég gyakorlatod - mondta a Királynő. - Én a te korodban naponta fél órán át csak ezt gyakoroltam. Volt úgy, hogy már reggeli előtt hat lehetetlen dolgot elhittem. Egy dolog bizonyos: a fehér cicának semmi köze nem lehetett hozzá, az egész egyes-egyedül a fekete cica bűne volt."
