A propos de ce titre

Synopsis :

THE ANNOTATED ALICE, first published in 1960, has sold over half a million copies worldwide and was the first work to decode the wordplay and mathematical riddles that lie embedded in Carroll's classic stories. THE DEFINITIVE EDITION combines the notes of Gardner's 1960 edition with his 1990 update, More Annotated Alice, as well as additional new discoveries drawn from Gardner's enclyclopedic knowledge of the texts. Illustrated with John Tenniel's classic art - along with many recently discovered Tenniel sketches - this new edition will be Gardner's most beautiful and enduring tribute to Carroll's masterpieces yet.
