It was intended, wrote Carroll, \u003ci\u003e\"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 . . .\" \u003c\/i\u003e With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote \u003ci\u003eAlice \u003c\/i\u003ehimself, 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 \u003ci\u003eAlice \u003c\/i\u003ebooks, this edition retains every word of the original \u003ci\u003eThe Nursery Alice\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eAlice\u003c\/i\u003e, and a delight for child and adult readers alike.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46524191015070,"sku":"TLD-9781035050499","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781035050499.jpg?v=1771389864","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781035050499","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
