Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (Penguin Clothbound Classics) Hardcover – Illustrated, March 10, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

First I want to talk about this beautiful edition of the book released by Barnes & Nobles. It is a purple/pink leather bound with the edges in silver color and it has lots of beautiful illustrations that helps a lot in understanding the story better. The papers are thick and very durable and made of great quality. The book has two stories Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I have read the first many years back but it is the first time I read the second one.
The story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is such a delight to revisit again. It is as charming as it was when I read it first time, maybe I am loving it even more today. It is funny, colorful and sometimes dark if you think of it. I absolutely adore the curiosity of Alice regarding her surroundings and love it when she keeps talking to herself and reacting to that! The characters in both stories are so well crafted, each and every character of them. I love the first story more and I would give it a complete five star while the second one is more of a three and half or four star but still it has its own charm as well.
Although I love Disney's anime film and also Johnny Depp's movie but I still feel that Alice in Wonderland has not been turned into a feature film that is true to the book. I would love to see that happen in the future. This classic is one of those which is still regarded as one of the best adventure books that is enjoyed by children and adults equally. Lewis Carroll's story is truly an immortal one.
This particular book has two parts- Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I found the first part deep, weird, philosophical, and taking many notes on some of the memorable quotes, situations, and contexts. In “Through the Looking Glass”, I found it harder to follow, and just let myself go with the story and its absurdity. I think that was the point, but while the story in the first part was better, there were specific scenarios that kept a reader in attention- for example the word games, number games, crazy puns, and weird questions or statements that sound so crazy, you can’t believe how realistic it is. So I would highly recommend this classic as a great story, or a possible window, if you will, into learning more about yourself, perceptions, and the “wonderlands” that you expose yourself to.
Naturally, the tale of Alice in Wonderland (told in two books; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass) is definitely a fun, unique tale that appeals to children and adults alike, so of course I wanted to own a quality copy of it! I like how this edition contains both books and is hardcover with a simple cover design that looks timeless and elegant on my bookshelf. The book is full of useful notes and information in edition to having the tale; plus it contains the classic illustrations too! The paper is very high quality, the printing very attractive, and overall it was well worth the $10 I spent on it. I thought it was such an attractive edition that I bought one for my sister, who is a collector of the various editions of this tale. I've no complaints except that I don't really care for how rough the fabric is; it's not very nice to hold in your bare hands in my opinion, and it makes a sound when it's placed on the shelf next to other cloth-bound hardcovers from the penguin classics series, so those are two things to keep in mind. I personally would have preferred either a softer fabric or for the books to have been bound in hard-backed pleather.

Die zarten Seiten blättern sich liebevoll um.
Die Zeichnungen versüßen das Lesen.
Dem Werk Lewis Carroll’s wurde mit diesem Buch gewusst zu würdigen.
All die versteckten Easter eggs (if you get my pun ^-^) lassen sich mit diesem Buch freudenvoll suchen, und derer gibt es viele!
Alice in wonderland and Alice through the looking glass ist wahrlich ein absolutes Meisterwerk, geschaffen von einem Genie der Mathematik und der englischen Sprache gleichermaßen.
Ich danke Chartwell Classics für ihre meisterliche und wunderschöne Auflage und würde mir wünschen, dass es dieses Buch bald wieder zu kaufen gibt.
Thank you so very much for this absolutely great masterpiece of a book! I love it!
