In 1865, Macmillan published the first edition of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. This edition celebrates one hundred and fifty years of Alice. The Complete Alice brings together Lewis Carroll’s two extraordinary stories in a single glorious volume. The original artwork has been lovingly restored. Both texts are complete and unabridged, including the rarely seen “deleted” episode The Wasp in a Wig. Also included is The Story of Alice, an exclusive sixteen-page account of the creation and first publication of Alice, told for younger readers and featuring material from Macmillan’s rich historical archive. A foreword from Philip Pullman introduces this truly special gift edition.
