Description: Since the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865 and Through the Looking Glass six years later, Lewis Carroll's nonsensical tales have delighted the world with wildly imaginative and unforgettable journeys. While charming children with a heroine who represents their own feelings about growing up, the Alice stories are also appreciated by adults as a gentle satire on education, politics, literature, and Victorian life in general. This unabridged recording lets listeners of all ages enjoy every moment of Alice's adventures down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass, including The Wasp in a Wig - a lost episode of Through the Looking Glass that is not included in most familiar editions. Recording the lost material here for the first time, actor Christopher Plummer brings both new and familiar characters to life, including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, and - of course - Alice herself.

Description: Die kleine Alice langweilt sich und als ein weißes Kaninchen in größter Eile mit einer riesigen Uhr an ihr vorbeitrappelt, da läuft sie eilig hinterher – denn zu gern möchte sie wissen, wo das Kaninchen hin möchte. Immer auf dessen Spuren purzelt sie geradezu ins Wunderland und trifft dort die merkwürdigsten Gestalten, wie die wasserpfeifepaffende Raupe, den Hutmacher oder den Schnapphasen – bis sie schließlich am Hofe der exzentrischen Herzkönigin
landet ...

When Alice sees the White Rabbit run by, she is burning with curiosity. Jumping up, she follows him into a rabbit hole. Then she falls down a long, long way...Roy Hudd, Sarah-Jane Holm and David Bamber star in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatization of Lewis Carroll's spell-binding and fantastic story which sparkles with nonsensical life.

Ken Campbell, Windsor Davies, John Bird, and John Fortune star in this BBC Radio full-cast dramatization. When Alice's wish to visit the Looking Glass world comes true, she can't resist delving deeper and deeper into a land of caustic characters and twisted logic. So begins a game of chess on a grand scale, where the inhabitants of each square have their own set of rules. In her bid to become Queen of the Chess Board, Alice takes advice from such peculiar folk as Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Lion and the Unicorn, and a very helpful gnat.

Description: Le 4 juillet 1862, au cours d'une promenade en barque avec ses deux sœurs, Alice Liddell demande à Charles Lutwidge Dodgson de lui raconter une histoire. La petite fille lui inspire, à lui le mathématicien-logicien passionné de phénomènes occultes, cette tumultueuse plongée souterraine dans le monde du rêve. Un monde hors temps, peuplé de créatures furieusement déraisonnables, où le lapsus est roi. A la demande d'Alice, Charles écrira l'histoire. Pour la publier, il prendra le nom de Lewis Carroll.

Description: Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense.

Nice illustrated antique book with embedded audio

Description: Eventyrland befolkes med fantastiske skikkelser: påskeharen og hattemakeren som er i evig teselskap, den gale hjerte-dronningen som vil halshugge alle, kålmarken som røyker pipe og filosoferer, og den triste, forlorne skilpadden. Og midt oppi det hele, Alice, stadig liten, stadig stor og full av undring over alt som skjer, bare fordi hun fulgte etter en hvit kanin ned i et kaninhull.
