Alice}}}s Adventures in Wonderland [Hardcover]

A stunning anniversary edition of Alice's adventures, illustrated by Salvador Dal?

Commemorating the 150th anniversary of one of the most beloved classics of children's literature, this illustrated edition presents Alice like youve never seen her before.

In 1865, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician and Anglican deacon, published a story about a little girl who tumbles down a rabbit hole.

In addition, mathematician Thomas Banchoff reflects on the friendship he shared with Dal? and explores the mathematical undercurrents in Dal?s work.
