ABOUT THIS BOOK

"Curiouser and curiouser!" cried Alice  (she was so much surprised, that for the moment  she quite forgot how to speak good English.)  "Now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that  ever was! Good-bye,  feet!"

Alice and all her many friends will never be  forgotten so long as books for children are published.  The fascinating adventures of this timeless little  girl as she plunges down the rabbit-hole, shrinks  and grows, meets the pack of cards and the chess  pieces -- should be read regularly by all ages for  their totally original fantasy, their humor, and  their charm.
