From the rear cover: "Lewis Carroll's two great Alice stories -- [ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN] WONDERLAND and its sequel THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS... set in Victorian England, these wild, remarkable flights of fancy have a lasting appeal the world over and are, in many ways, surprisingly modern in their outlook. Many of their phrases and expressions -- 'Curiouser and curiouser,' or 'Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast' -- have entered the language of everyday use... IN QUOTABLE ALICE... David W. Barber... brings together the best and most memorable of Carroll's pithy expressions from the Alice books, complete with an index for easy reference. The text is wonderfully complemented with a selection of the famous illustrations John Tenniel created for the original editions.". First Printing of the First Edition. Soft Cover. As New condition.. Illus. by Tenniel, John; cover art by Kevin Reeves. [vii], 118pp. .

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
