The classic story by L. Frank Baum, retold for children growing in reading confidence and ability. When Dorothy is whizzed to Oz in a tornado, she lands in a place where nothing is quite as it seems. Can she find the Wizard, defeat the Wicked Witch of the West, and be granted her wish to return to Kansas?

New to the Second Edition is "The Wasp in a Wig," a recently discovered episode Carroll deleted from Through the Looking-Glass, but which fits into the story in interesting ways. Each text is accompanied by ample explanatory notes. "Backgrounds" reprints new selections from recent biographies of Carroll and from recent editions of his diaries and letters. Our understanding of and appreciation for Carroll's life and literature are deepened by new contributions from Anne Clark, Tony Beale, E. M. Rowell, and, most revealingly, Carroll himself. "Criticism" retains seven seminal critiques from the First Edition while adding four important recent essays by Nina Auerbach, Roger Henkle, Robert Polhemus, and Donald Rackin. A revised and updated Selected Bibliography is also included.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is een roman geschreven door de Engelse wiskundige Charles Lutwidge Dodgson onder het pseudoniem Lewis Carroll. Het verhaal volgt een meisje genaamd Alice die door een konijnenhol valt in een fantasiewereld bevolkt door vreemde, antropomorfe wezens. Alice komt verschillende bizarre personages tegen, zoals de Hoedenmaker, de Cheshire Cat en de Koningin van Harten, terwijl ze haar weg probeert te vinden in deze vreemde en vaak verwarrende omgeving. Het verhaal verkent thema's van identiteit, groei en de absurditeit van de volwassen wereld. Alice's avonturen zijn zowel een speelse als diepgaande reflectie op de kindertijd en de uitdagingen van het opgroeien. De roman is beroemd om zijn fantasierijke taal en surrealistische elementen, en heeft een blijvende impact gehad op de literatuur en populaire cultuur. Het blijft een geliefd verhaal dat lezers van alle leeftijden blijft fascineren met zijn wonderlijke en vaak onvoorspelbare plot.

Young children will be enthralled by these charming books, as they follow Pinoccho's path to becoming a real boy, and Gerda's quest to save her best friend from the evil Snow Queen.

Chi sono gli alberi? Creature vive che cantano, che emettono suoni nel silenzio o nella notte, che respirano, che si nutrono, che guardano, che sentono.Un libro come una passeggiata per scoprire e osservare gli alberi che ci circondano, i paesaggi che abitano e che abitiamo insieme, le relazioni tra loro e noi; per comprendere la loro bellezza, la vita che li anima e che ci infondono, la poesia che alimentano.
