Illustrated in color and monochrome throughout. In the original publisher's unclipped jacket. A collection of the Lewis Carroll works that Ralph Steadman published illustrated editions on, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', 'Through the Looking-Glass', and 'The Hunting of the Snark'. 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', is one of the best known children's books of all time. It follows Alice as she falls through a rabbit role into a strange world with talking animals and magical potions. 'Through the Looking-Glass' is the sequel to 'Wonderland', when Alice enters the fantastical world again by climbing through a mirror. 'The Hunting of the Snark' is a poem that is typically known as a nonsense poem. Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who is best known for his 'Wonderland' books. His books are of the nonsense genre, playing with logic and fantasy. It's the general belief that his character Alice was based off Alice Liddell, a relationship that has caused a great amount of controversy. Illustrated by Ralph Steadman. His style of illustration is very satirical, with caricatures of politics and society. NPT Books a division of N.P.
