Lewis Carroll

ALICE I EVENTYRLAND (1865) Alice sitter ute sammen med sin storesøster og leser. Det er veldig kjedelig. Plutselig oppdager hun en kanin med klokke og vest, som snakker med seg selv. Alice bestemmer seg for å følge etter den merkelige kaninen. Den forsvinner ned i et hull, og Alice bøyer seg ivrig ned for å se hvor den ble av. Og før hun vet ordet av det er hun i fritt fall nedover. Kaninhullet viser seg å være inngangen til en helt ny verden, og her starter Alices vandring gjennom Eventyrlandet, der alt er mulig. Alice i Eventyrland regnes som nonsenslitteraturens hovedverk og peker framover mot den litterære absurdismen og surrealismen, drømmens uretusjerte kunstneriske uttrykk. På få år ble denne romanen blant de mest leste i England og elsket av blant andre dronning Victoria.

A tale of a young girl's adventures in a strange and magical world.

"The Hunting of the Snark" relates in glittering verse the story of how the Bellman and his eccentric crew, who include a butcher, a baker, a beaver and a tailor, set off in quest of that most mysterious and elusive of creatures, the Snark. In 1959 Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomin Valley and its magical inhabitants, was commissioned to illustrate a Swedish edition of Lewis Carroll's miniature masterpiece. It proved an inspired choice, as the enigmatic charms of Jansson's illustrative style bring to life the beauty and strangeness of Carroll's tale. The minds of two of the greatest children's authors of the past 150 years meet on the page. Remarkably, amid the success of Tove Jannson's Moomin books, her unique edition of "The Hunting of the Snark" was forgotten, and has been unavailable for over fifty years. Now, for the first time, these beautiful illustrations are matched with Lewis Carroll's original English text, so that readers can encounter this wonderful adventure afresh through the eyes of one of Europe's finest illustrators.

"They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the bank-the birds with draggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable. All of them were covered in Alice's now cold and congealed blood, which made them even tastier looking to poor hungry Alice." When little Alice follows the Black Rat down into the gaping darkness of an open grave, she falls and falls. And soon finds herself in an undead nightmare of rotting flesh and insanity. Venturing further into this land of zombies and monsters, she encounters characters both creepy and madcap along the way. But there's something else troubling poor Alice: her skin is rotting and her hair is falling out. She's cold. And she has the haunting feeling that if she remains in Zombieland any longer, she might never leave. Can Alice escape Zombieland before the Dead Red Queen catches up to her?
