Carroll's classic stories reunited with Peake's celebrated illustrations, restored for the first time to their original glory. In the 1940s, Gormenghast trilogy author Mervyn Peake was commissioned to produce a series of seventy pen-and-ink drawings to accompany Lewis Carroll's two classics, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." Previously admired for his illustrations of "Treasure Island" and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," Peake set to work, producing such luminous, eccentric images that Graham Greene would later refer to him as 'the first artist since Tenniel to recast Alice in a contemporary mould.' In these editions, Peake's marvelous illustrations, many of them originally drawn on poor quality wartime paper, have been meticulously reproduced as they were meant to be seen.

牛津大学的数学教授用一个孩子天真的眼光,写成人世界里面的事情。这本书也是在宁波出差时一个人无聊的时候读的。很薄,很小,但是很有意思。值得成人也读一下。
