Lewis Carroll's story of a girl who follows a white rabbit down a hole and finds herself in a world governed by its own stubborn logic has been read aloud, argued over and quoted for generations. Alice grows and shrinks, meets a caterpillar, a grinning cat and a hatter at an endless tea party, and keeps her composure through most of it. The nonsense is careful rather than careless, which is why the book holds adult readers as firmly as it holds children.
This English-language edition comes from M. D. Gunasena & Co., the Colombo publisher, as part of its Timeless Classics series — a line that brings well-known stories from the wider canon to Sri Lankan readers in affordable editions.
It suits a child meeting Alice for the first time, a classroom working through set reading, or an adult who wants a copy on the shelf again. Buyers outside Sri Lanka may also find it of interest simply as a locally published edition of a familiar text, carrying a Sri Lankan imprint rather than a British or American one.
