Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Other Stories (Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classics Series)

Fabulous

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. She hasn't even read the main stories yet; she is too busy reading the rest of the goodies. My husband is even reading it when he is allowed to borrow it. The book cover is gorgeous and is a keeper to be passed down to future generations.

A Handsome Volume for an Unbelievable Price

This is the first of the leatherbound volumes by B&N that I've purchased and judging by this one, probably not the last! I have begun to collect Alice in Wonderland editions and I purchased this one because it offered so much more of Carroll's work as well as the original Tenniel illustrations. But the format of the text is also very appealing (font is not too small or too large, margins are generous all around) and the cover design, over and beyond the sumptously stamped pink leather cover,is just gorgeously conceived. Gilt edges, bound bookmark, extensive range of author's work and you have one terrific buy at under $20--hard to believe. My one hope is that the paper, which is ivory in color and a good weight, is acid free and will stand the test of time. Don't mean to be greedy, but I'd like to keep this one forever. Not all the leatherbound volumes I've looked at in this series appear to have paper of the same quality.

Loved the leatherbound version and the color and character featured on the cover.

Alice in Wonderaland or Alice thru the looking glass is one of my favorites. This book did not disappoint. I bought it because of the leatherbound version . I have purchased other special leatherbound books offered by Barnes and Nobles. If you like the classics and want to ad a special version this book is for you.

I also recommend the DVD version's of this story.

Beautifully Bound Book with Captivating, Original Illustrations

This is an absolutely gorgeous book. The books of this series are all professionally bound and illustrated with either the original artwork or something equally as thrilling. The pink cover of the Alice in Wonderland edition is a nice refreshing change from the droll brown, blacks or blues of a traditionally bound book. Definitely worth giving as a gift or keeping as a collectors item as this will last generations. Absolutely worth the exceptional price as I would have been willing to pay double what they asked (though, at the price offered, I was able to buy both quantity AND quality...). This book (and all of the leatherbound classic series books) is certainly a treasure.

Amazing!

If you are a true Alice in Wonderland you will love this edition to your collection of AIW paraphernalia. It has a really great cover and the the inside is very pretty. I also love the fact that it is "...and Other Stories" because now you get to read all of the less popular stories by the great Lewis Carroll. Enjoy! :D

I love this book!!! Great for adults and children. I totally recomend this book.

Wow!

The design is just amazing! The book is so beautiful to look at, that I just can't put it down. The only thing I'm not satisfied with, is that it's a bit worn some places. Around the edges the pink color has disappeared and you can see the beige leather through. And where it says "Alice's" the white painting has been smeared. But otherwise I'm quite satisfied!

Book cover is spellbinding, starstruck by its beauty...

Let’s be real, this book will take forever to finish. Well, at least for me it will. I really enjoyed the story of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and am still working my way through the other fabulous tales. Honestly, the main reason I bought this book is because the book cover is just so spellbinding. When we made eye contact, I was starstruck by its beauty and, out of no where, found myself paying for it to become mine. It really does have great stories but if you don't finish it, it definitely is a lovely addition to your book collection.

wonderful

this book is exactly what i wanted. amazing

Gorgeous Book!!

I just got this book from my secret santa at our work party. It has some amazing, classic stories by Lewis Carroll. I plan to keep this book for my enjoyment as well as the enjoyment of future generations. The binding is beautiful too!

A MUST HAVE IN ANY CHILD'S BOOK COLLECTION!

This has always been such a classic story and Tim Burton's recent movie has clearly inspired my daughter Ciara's generation into reading the original story - her and her friends all went out to buy it and it was great to see that a story written so long ago still holds children and YA in such thrall. As an artist I'm always really interested in book covers and this is so sharp and quirky, very stylized and eye catching.

@IkilledJason

Phantasmagoria is included in this compilation. I checked the table of contents for you.

Question

Does anyone know if the poem "Phantasmagoria" is in this?

My New Fave Book! LOVE IT!

This book is SOOOO cute and I love all the stories that I've read so far in it. This is a must have for your library! But I'd recommend buying it in the store if you can find it because a portion of pages were slightly bent like something crushed it maybe while shipping not a huge deal since I was mostly able to straighten it out but I've read other reviews of people having the same problems with other leatherbound classics books..

The Bomb!!!

Alice's Adventure in Wonderland and Other Stories, by Lewis Carroll and John Tenniel is an amazing collection of the many interesting and mind- twisting stories that Lewis Carroll's brilliant mind have ever created. The main, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, starts with the protagonist of the story, Alice, as she is sitting by her sister at a river bank very bored with her sister, when she notices a white rabbit wearing a waist coat and a pocket watch chanting to its self, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" Intrigued by the skewed logic of a white rabbit fully clothed and talking, the young girl chases the rabbit down a rabbit whole and plummets down many miles of ground for what seems like ages, until she lands and finds herself in Wonderland. As Alice tries to find her way to a beautiful garden she saw before entering the strange fantasy land, she meets the characters we all know and love today; The Mad Hatter, The Cheshire Cat, The March Hare, and of course, The Red Queen. This book is very well developed from the drop of madness put into every single character, to the melancholy ideas and thoughts, and the insane but truthful morals snuck into every chapter of the book, makes it perfect for anyone seeking to read something exciting, funny and totally insane! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who asked for a very exciting book, because after all, were all a little mad inside. :)

Beautiful Cover to Match the Amazing story

I saw this in the Barnes and Noble here in my hometown and was blown away at seeing that it was only about $20. Ever since I was a kid I've loved this story and hope one day to pass this book onto my kids. Such an imaginative vision filled with lovable characters and a sense of curiousity that keeps you glued. I recommend this to anyone who wants to explore anothers imagination. The design and cover of this is something beautiful all on its own as well.

Alice's Adventure in Wonderland

I purchased this book for my two neighbor girls for Easter. They are in elementary school. I am a retired educator and I think it is a beautiful
book for them to keep in their library. The girls and their parents were very pleased with the book. I will get feedback from them as they were planning on reading it together at bedtime.

Alice's Adventure in Wonderland

A great book for young and old alike. I love the whole look of the book starting with the thick leather bound hard cover and beautiful drawing and design on the front cover. Along with the two books of Alice in Wonderland, this edition also has, Sylvie and Bruno, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, The Hunting of the Snark, Phantasmagoria, College Rhymes and Notes by an Oxford Chiel, Three Sunsets and Other Poems and much much more. Beautiful illustrations of John Tenniel have been retained in this edition. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves books as much as I do.
