About the book

"The Nursery 'Alice'" by Lewis Carroll is an adaptation published in 1889/90. Carroll reimagined his famous tale specifically for children aged five and under, creating an interactive reading experience. Rather than simply shortening the original story, he wrote as though speaking directly to a young listener, asking questions and pointing out details in the colorful illustrations. The book features twenty of John Tenniel's drawings from the original, redrawn and hand-colored, transforming Wonderland into an intimate, conversational adventure for the youngest readers.
