Synopsis "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: The only edition with all 42 of John Tenniel's illustrations in COLOUR (Aziloth Books) "

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the world's first surrealist book, written in 1865, at a time when surrealism had not yet been invented. The author of this dream-like fantasy, full of puns and ironic comments on life, was Lewis Carroll (real name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), who devised the story for three young girls during a boat trip on the river Isis in Oxford. Since its publication, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been a favourite with children of all ages - and adults, too, can find deeper layers of meaning beneath the madcap adventures of Alice and her outlandish army of comic characters. The story has been translated into 125 different languages and, after the Bible, Qur'an and Shakespeare, is the most frequently quoted book in the world.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Daresbury, Cheshire, United Kingdom; January 27, 1832-Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom; January 14, 1898), better known in the literary world by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an Anglican deacon, logician, mathematician, photographer, and British writer. He was the eldest son of a large family and raised in a clerical environment, showing from a young age a great ability for mathematics and narrative, giving him the opportunity to enter Oxford, where he served as a mathematics professor for two decades.

Over the years, he became a multifaceted author, cultivating his passion for logic, literature, and photography, disciplines that were very reflected in his literary work.

Although Lewis Carroll did not receive international literary awards during his lifetime, his work was recognized and celebrated from its publication, and his influence has been lasting and global. Alice in Wonderland has been translated into more than 97 languages and has never stopped being published, establishing itself as an essential classic. Additionally, Carroll was a pioneer in the use of logic in children's literature and in the creation of fantastic worlds that challenge narrative conventions.

His most famous works are Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, in addition to other works such as The Hunting of the Snark or Sylvie and Bruno.
