A propos de cet article

First edition, 4to, pp. xxxiii, [1], 363, [1]; illustrated throughout; illustrations in text after the originals of Newell published in 1901 and 1902; shoulder notes throughout by Gardner. Fine copy in publisher's terracotta cloth stamped in gilt, in a fine unclipped dust jacket. Signed by Martin Gardner on the title page. Two introductory essays include one by the illustrator, Peter Newell on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland from an Artist's Stand-point," and another by Michael Patrick Hearn, "Peter Newell (1862-1924)." "For over half a century, Martin Gardner has established himself as one of the world's leading authorities on Lewis Carroll. His Annotated Alice, first published in 1959 [sic], has over half a million copies in print around the world and is beloved by both families and scholars - for it was Gardner who first decoded many of the mathematical riddles and wordplay that lay ingeniously embedded in Carroll's two classic stories, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass" (jacket blurb). The first edition was actually published in 1960, not 1959.
