{"product_id":"alices-adventures-in-wonderland-18","title":"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland","description":"166 pp. Dark pink cloth, white titles, color illustration mounted on front board. Color frontispiece and plates by Millicent Sowerby. 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":"Duffield \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46602121183302,"sku":"2354647","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2354647.jpg?v=1790120338","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/alices-adventures-in-wonderland-18","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
