Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Other Stories (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition)

Not only is this book completely beautiful to behold, with the eye catching cover, but the contents are so amazing and complete. It includes the famous "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Alice's Through the Looking Glass" stories which are complete with the original illustrations and unabridged text, along with all of Lewis Carroll's other complete stories, poems, puzzles and notes which are all just as clever and charming as his more well known works. Included: Introduction by Leonard S. Marcus Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Through the Looking-Glass, and what Alice found there Sylvie and Bruno Sylvie and Bruno Concluded The Hunting of the Snark A collection of verses Puzzles and Solutions from Wonderland Prologue to plays Phantasmagoria College Rhymes and notes by an Oxford chiel Acrostics, Inscriptions, and other verse Three sunsets and Other poems V1. Stories: -A tangled tale -Novelty and Romancement -A Photographer's Day Out -Wilhelm von Schmitz -The Legend of Scotland A Miscellany etc.. I can't list all of the poems and works but I think that gives you a good overview of the contents. Its truly a wonderful book, and I can see a lot of time and care went into collecting and putting all of Lewis' fantastic writings together. As for the cover of the book it is Beautiful! The deep pink leather against the black and gold details looks very lovely, the spine equally so ( it looks great on my shelf). The pages have gold gilded edges and there is also a gold ribbon book mark attached too. The end papers have lovely illustrated imagines of the Alice book characters is is charming and colourful. For the price it really is a steal. This is must have book for your collection, good for children and adults alike and would make a fantastic gift (it was a Christmas gift for me, and I was so thankful and overjoyed to receive it! :D ). I can't recommend this book more highly, and when you see it in person I think you will understand why.show more
