He was also the most  famous children's author of his day, celebrated for his \u003ci\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThrough the Looking Glass\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as his collections of nonsense verse, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Hunting of the Snark\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFloor Rieder is a prizewinning illustrator who has illustrated many books including \u003ci\u003eThe Mystery of Life\u003c\/i\u003e by Jan Paul Schutten, for which she was given the Golden Pencil Award   in her native Netherlands. Now she has created a new, timeless imagining   of Lewis Carroll's Alice.DOWN THE RABBIT-HOLE\u003cbr\u003e Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her\u003cbr\u003e sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or\u003cbr\u003e twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading,\u003cbr\u003e but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what\u003cbr\u003e is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”\u003cbr\u003e So she was considering, in her own mind (as well as she\u003cbr\u003e could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid),\u003cbr\u003e whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth\u003cbr\u003e the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly\u003cbr\u003e a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.\u003cbr\u003e There was nothing so \u003ci\u003every \u003c\/i\u003eremarkable in that; nor did Alice\u003cbr\u003e think it so \u003ci\u003every \u003c\/i\u003emuch out of the way to hear the Rabbit say\u003cbr\u003e to itself “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” (when she\u003cbr\u003e thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought\u003cbr\u003e to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite\u003cbr\u003e natural); but, when the Rabbit actually \u003ci\u003etook a watch out of its\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ewaistcoat-pocket\u003c\/i\u003e, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice\u003cbr\u003e started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had\u003cbr\u003e never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or\u003cbr\u003e a watch to take out of it, and, burning with curiosity, she ran\u003cbr\u003e across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down\u003cbr\u003e a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.\u003cbr\u003e In another moment down went Alice after it, never once\u003cbr\u003e considering how in the world she was to get out again.\u003cbr\u003e The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some\u003cbr\u003e way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice\u003cbr\u003e had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she\u003cbr\u003e found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.\u003cbr\u003e Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for\u003cbr\u003e she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her,\u003cbr\u003e and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried\u003cbr\u003e to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it\u003cbr\u003e was too dark to see anything: then she looked at the sides\u003cbr\u003e of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards\u003cbr\u003e and book-shelves: here and there she saw maps and pictures\u003cbr\u003e hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves\u003cbr\u003e as she passed: it was labeled ORANGE MARMALADE, but to her\u003cbr\u003e great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop\u003cbr\u003e the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed\u003cbr\u003e to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.\u003cbr\u003e “Well!” thought Alice to herself. “After such\u003cbr\u003e a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling\u003cbr\u003e down-stairs! How brave they’ll all think me at\u003cbr\u003e home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it,\u003cbr\u003e even if I fell off the top of the house!” (Which\u003cbr\u003e was very likely true.)","brand":"Pushkin Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301227974885,"sku":"NP9781782692843","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781782692843.jpg?v=1767721230","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/alices-adventures-in-wonderland-through-the-looking-glass-isbn-9781782692843","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
