The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition

The culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, The Annotated Alice is a landmark event in the rich history of Lewis Carroll and cause to celebrate the remarkable career of Martin Gardner. For over half a century, Martin Gardner has established himself as one of the world's leading authorities on Lewis Carroll. His Annotated Alice, first published in 1960, has over half a million copies in print around the world and is highly sought after by families and scholars alike--for it was Gardner who first decoded the wordplay and the many mathematical riddles that lie embedded in Carroll's two classic stories: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Forty years after this groundbreaking publication, Norton is proud to publish the Definitive Edition of The Annotated Alice, a work that combines the notes of Gardner's 1960 edition with his 1990 update, More Annotated Alice, as well as additional new discoveries and updates drawn from Gardner's encyclopedic knowledge of the texts. Illustrated with John Tenniel's classic and beloved art--along with many recently discovered Tenniel pencil sketches--The Annotated Alice will be Gardner's most beautiful and enduring tribute to Carroll's masterpieces yet. Celebrating his eighty-fifth birthday in the fall of 1999, the redoubtable Gardner has been called by Douglas Hofstadter "one of the great intellects produced in this country in this century." With The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition, we have this remarkable scholar's crowning achievement. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-13-2009; How time flies; It surprises me to see all the small things that we do not understand any more, and only 150 years have passed since Carroll generation. But of course, many things I used 50 years ago are unknown to the new generation: typewriter, slide...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Sep-02-2009; Must-Have for every Collectors Bookshelf.; Lets be honest. Of all the children's books I was read, and I read, I barely enjoyed Alice in Wonderland. I only just loved her beautiful dresses, her hair and her headband:-)Many years later, as an aunt with 2 nieces, I decided to...; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-03-2009; Nice book, but...; This is a nice book, with lots of interesting tidbits and information, nice illustrations and presentation, some good biography on Lewis Carroll, but if you're expecting to have every symbol and allusion explained, you won't find it here.; read full review | report as inappropriate

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-24-2009; For the scholar, but not for your little girl...; It's okay. For such an expensive book, you would think some of the pen and ink drawings would be over-sized, blown-up, maybe even in color.

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-06-2009; Not the hoped for insider's explanation; I had hoped this annotated work would explain the historical facts being lampooned (e.g., Queen of Hearts and the Tarts)-- the insider's joke so to speak. That would have been so much more interesting. Failing this, the book is mildly...; read full review | report as inappropriate
