One hot summer day, Alice sees a white rabbit and runs after it. She follows it down a rabbit-hole -- and arrives in 'Wonderland'. Here, caterpillars can talk and rabbits have watches. And the Queen wants to cut off everybody's head!
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?
A champion for African-American and women's rights, Alice Walker reflects her beliefs in her passionate writing. Walker is best known for her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Color Purple", a compelling work that boldly tackles the issues of racism and sexism in the rural South. "Alice Walker, New Edition" features a penetrating introduction by Harold Bloom that helps set the stage for this comprehensive critical portrait of one of the most influential writers of the last 30 years.
The "Alice" book is oneof the most translated, most quoted, and best-known book in the world. Alice's encounters with the White Rabbit, the Cheshire-Cat, the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, and many other extraordinary characters have made them beloved by children. Yet they also appeal to adults fascinated by the many layers of satire, allusion, and symbolism about Victorian culture and politics.
