{"product_id":"the-nursery-alice","title":"The Nursery Alice","description":"\u003cb\u003e An enchanting adaptation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for younger readers, with the original preface and advertisements\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a 'Nursery Edition' of Alice with pictures printed in.\" \u003c\/i\u003eLewis Carroll's diary, 15th February, 1881 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Nursery Alice\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published by \u003ci\u003eMacmillan \u0026amp; Co\u003c\/i\u003e. in 1890, was the very first color edition of \u003ci\u003eAlice\u003c\/i\u003e. It was intended, wrote Carroll, \u003ci\u003e \"to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five. To be read? Nay, not so! Say rather to be thumbed, to be cooed over, to be dogs'-eared, to be rumpled, to be kissed . . .\"\u003c\/i\u003e With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote \u003ci\u003eAlice, \u003c\/i\u003e simplifying and abridging the original text, while Tenniel redrew, enlarged, and colored 20 of his iconic illustrations. The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience, readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images and even the physical book itself, in a way that is thoroughly modern. Gloriously reproduced for the anniversary year, the present edition retains every word of the original and restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel's artwork--lost in reproductions across the decades--along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson, a placeholder ribbon, and gold page edges. This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to \u003ci\u003eAlice\u003c\/i\u003e, a delight for readers of every age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47498229383393,"sku":null,"price":538.23,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/9033\/0593\/files\/7780803482703.jpg?v=1763725081","url":"https:\/\/perfectbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nursery-alice","provider":"PERFECT BOOK HOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
