First told in 1862 to the little Liddell girls. It was written out for
Alice Liddell, was published, and the first copy given to her in 1865.

The illustrations are those which appeared in the original issue. Many
artists have tried their hand in making pictures for "Alice," but none
have succeeded in displacing those of John Tenniel.

Extract from the diary of C.L. Dodgson: July 4, 1862.--I made an
expedition _up_ the river to Godstow with the three Liddells; we had
tea on the bank there, and did not reach Christ Church till half-past
eight.... On which occasion I told them the fairy tale of Alice's
Adventures Underground, which I undertook to write out for Alice.

"Alice! a childish story take,
And with a gentle hand
Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined
In Memory's mystic band,
Like pilgrim's withered wreath of flowers
Plucked in a far-off land."

Alice in Wonderland.
Illustrated by Arthur Rackham.

Those wishing to depart from John Tenniel's illustrations will find (p. 63)
these pictures of Arthur Rackham very interesting. We are given
delightful black and white work, though most of the full-page pictures
are in color.

Enchanting Alice! Black-and-white
Has made your deeds perennial;
And naught save "Chaos and old Night"
Can part you now from Tenniel;
But still you are a Type, and based
In Truth, like Lear and Hamlet;
And Types may be re-draped to taste
In cloth of gold or camlet.

Through the Looking-Glass.
Illustrated by John Tenniel.

The sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The illustrations are
the same as those that appeared in the original edition.

"To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said,
'I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head.
Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be,
Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me!'"
