外国の本だな、とすぐわかるペラペラのページ(紙)です。ちょっと汗ばんだ手だとすぐにしみると思います。 医学部を志望する娘が、毎日英語の曲を聴く、英語の物語を読む、の二点を日課にするため購入しました。 読みやすい英文だそうで、喜んでおりました。値段も内容はとても良いです！

With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.
