Overview
The Complete Alice brings together Lewis Carroll's two beloved classics, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, split into 22 charming hardback volumes. Each pocket-sized book covers one chapter, making Carroll's witty, dreamlike story easy to read one sitting at a time. Illustrated by celebrated artist Helen Oxenbury, this set gives Wonderland and the Looking-Glass world a warm, modern feel while keeping Carroll's original text intact. Perfect for ages 7-9 (Grades 2-4), it's an inviting way for children to meet the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Red Queen in one collectible box.

About the Books
The Complete Alice takes Lewis Carroll's two classic novels and divides them into 22 short, self-contained volumes, one for almost every chapter of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. This clever format turns two full-length classics into a stack of manageable mini-books, perfect for children building confidence to read longer stories on their own, or for a grown-up to share one chapter at a time at bedtime. Every volume keeps Carroll's original text exactly as written, so young readers experience the same puns, riddles, and topsy-turvy logic that have delighted families for over 150 years. Helen Oxenbury's illustrations appear throughout, giving Alice, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the rest of Carroll's cast a fresh, expressive look that appeals to modern young readers without losing any classic charm. The set follows Alice's fall down the rabbit hole into a world of shrinking potions, mad tea parties, and a tyrannical Queen of Hearts, before crossing into the mirror-world of Through the Looking-Glass, where chess pieces walk and talk and backwards logic rules the day. Packaged together in a sturdy hardback box, the 22 volumes make an eye-catching bookshelf addition and a satisfying set for collectors, teachers building a classroom library, or parents introducing a favorite childhood story to a new generation. Whether read cover to cover or dipped into one chapter at a time, The Complete Alice offers a fresh, accessible way into one of literature's most imaginative worlds.

About the Author
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English mathematician, Oxford don, and ordained deacon who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for a young friend named Alice Liddell. Its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, followed in 1871. Together the two books established Carroll as one of the most inventive voices in children's literature, celebrated for their wordplay, logic, and nonsense verse. This edition is illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, an acclaimed British illustrator known for her warm, expressive artwork on classics including Farmer Duck and We're Going on a Bear Hunt.
