{"product_id":"alices-adventures-in-wonderland-17","title":"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland","description":"8 color plates by Bessie Pease Gutmann, with original John Tenniel illustrations in black-and-white, a preface by Claire Booss, and a foreword by Ellen S. Shapiro. In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature. Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the Alice books - with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al. - by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up - or down, or all turned round - as seen through the expert eyes of a child.","brand":"Children's Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44349015228486,"sku":"2351546","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2351546.jpg?v=1765860424","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/alices-adventures-in-wonderland-17","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
