The Annotated Alice is a landmark event in the rich history of Lewis
Carroll and cause to celebrate the remarkable career of Martin Gardner.
For over half a century, Martin Gardner has established himself as one
of the world's leading authorities on Lewis Carroll. His Annotated
Alice, first published in 1960, has over half a million copies in print
around the world and is highly sought after by families and scholars
alike--for it was Gardner who first decoded the wordplay and the many
mathematical riddles that lie embedded in Carroll's two classic
stories: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking
Glass. Forty years after this groundbreaking publication, Norton is
proud to publish the Definitive Edition of The Annotated Alice, a work
that combines the notes of Gardner's 1960 edition with his 1990 update,
More Annotated Alice, as well as additional new discoveries and updates
drawn from Gardner's encyclopedic knowledge of the texts. Illustrated
with John Tenniel's classic and beloved art--along with many recently
discovered Tenniel pencil sketches--The Annotated Alice will be
Gardner's most beautiful and enduring tribute to Carroll's masterpieces
yet. Celebrating his eighty-fifth birthday in the fall of 1999, the
redoubtable Gardner has been called by Douglas Hofstadter "one of the
great intellects produced in this country in this century." With The
Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition, we have this remarkable
scholar's crowning achievement.
