'And what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversation?' There is no such problem here, as this boxed set of 22 hardback volumes features selected stories from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass, complemented by Helen Oxenbury's charming illustrations.

Down the rabbit-hole, through the pool of tears to meet with the Caterpillar, the Duchess, the pig and the pepper... Alice’s fantastical adventure is read here by Fiona Shaw, with music including Bruckner’s Lancier Quadrille. Abridged. Naxos Junior Classics. Age 8+

The Bellman, with his crew of Barrister, Beaver and Butcher, Baker and Banker, sets off in search of the Snark again, but this time his strange quest is recorded in drawings by the Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomin. The pictures, originally drawn for a Swedish-language edition in 1959, breathe new life into the English text of this wonderful adventure. Slightly off-mint. Felt tip mark on upper trimmed edge.

Beginning with the first ‘Mock Turtle’s Song' from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this selection includes ‘Jabberwocky’, ‘The Hunting of the Snark’ and ‘Phantasmagoria’ – a strange conversation between one Tibbets and a ghost.

As well as the complete Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (with John Tenniel's original illustrations) and The Hunting of the Snark, this edition contains the whole bewildering range of Carroll's verses, puzzles, 'phantasmagoria' and stories, plus a miscellany of letters and prose pieces on topics that include women students, vivisection and dining room etiquette.
