The Annotated Alice - Alice's Adventures In Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass

For over half a century; Martin Gardner has established himself as one of the world's leading authorities on Lewis Carroll. His Annotated Alice; first published in 1960; has over half a million copies in print around the world and is highly sought after by families and scholars alike -- for it was Gardner who first decoded the wordplay and the many mathematical riddles that lie embedded in Carroll's two classic stories: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.Forty years after this groundbreaking publication; Norton is proud to publish the Definitive Edition of The Annotated Alice; a work that combines the notes of Gardner's 1960 edition with his 1990 update; More Annotated Alice; as well as additional new discoveries and updates drawn from Gardner's encyclopedic knowledge of the texts. Illustrated with John Tenniel's classic and beloved art -- along with many recently discovered Tenniel pencil sketches -- The Annotated Alice will be Gardner's most beautiful and enduring tribute to Carroll's masterpieces yet.
