Adapted especially for younger readers by Lewis Carroll himself, this version is the perfect introduction to his magical story. The original edition, of which this is a reproduction, was the first to have colour illustrations to accompany the story. John Tenniel adapted his original illustrations and then coloured them to make them even more attractive to younger readers. This edition also includes the preface Lewis Carroll wrote explaining why he adapted the book for younger readers and the contemporary advertisements which give it a period flavour.
