Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

There are a lot of Alice versions out there, but the Macmillan Classics / Macmillan Children's Books have a nice big font size, and I prefer that there's one hardcover for Wonderland (red cover with Alice pictured), one hardcover for Looking Glass (blue cover with the rabbit pictured), rather than having the tales combined in the same volume. The Everyman's Library version (red cover, with color illustration of Alice & the Gang in center panel) also has nice big font, though it does combine both stories in the same volume. All 3 of these have the original John Tenniel illustrations. The Complete Alice by Macmillan (white cover with blue trim, Alice in circle illustration looking at departing rabbit) with both tales, also has the bigger font, and the Tenniel illustrations have been colorized - but on the matte paper it just looks flat and kinda gaudy. The Book of Wonder / HarperCollins edition of Wonderland (brown cover, with Alice looking up at the Cheshire Cat in the tree) is fine, and boasts that it is the only version to reproduce the Tenniel illustrations directly from the original woodblocks, thus making the B&W line drawings seem sharper and more vibrant; I can see a difference, but it's negligible, but A for Effort .... Overall, I'd recommend the separate Macmillan versions I mention here first ...
I'm a purist, but I was also drawn to a few versions with other illustrators. By far, the most exquisite is by artist Maggie Taylor - but very expensive, and almost out of stock. And I love Yayoi Kusama, she is a perfect match for Alice, as her joyful illustrations prove. Very popular is the version illustrated in color by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper, and though I love the heft and quality of the Puffin edition, I was less impressed with her art, just too childish; then again, it is a children's book, technically, and I've been judging as an adult Alice fan.

Naturally, the tale of Alice in Wonderland (told in two books; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass) is definitely a fun, unique tale that appeals to children and adults alike, so of course I wanted to own a quality copy of it! I like how this edition contains both books and is hardcover with a simple cover design that looks timeless and elegant on my bookshelf. The book is full of useful notes and information in edition to having the tale; plus it contains the classic illustrations too! The paper is very high quality, the printing very attractive, and overall it was well worth the $10 I spent on it. I thought it was such an attractive edition that I bought one for my sister, who is a collector of the various editions of this tale. I've no complaints except that I don't really care for how rough the fabric is; it's not very nice to hold in your bare hands in my opinion, and it makes a sound when it's placed on the shelf next to other cloth-bound hardcovers from the penguin classics series, so those are two things to keep in mind. I personally would have preferred either a softer fabric or for the books to have been bound in hard-backed pleather.

I’m going to be honest: I read this book in a day, and look forward to getting stuck into Through the Looking-Glass as soon as I can, because, when it really comes down to it, Lewis Carroll knows how to tell a good story. There’s nothing quite like these books when it comes to imagination, not even Terry Pratchett’s or J. R. R. Tolkien’s works. They’re fantastical, unbelievable, and somehow mesmerising, if only because they are just so different to what we are used to reading. So, whether you’re already familiar with Alice’s adventures or not, I thoroughly recommend you give this book a read, and see whether you think it is only meant for children. It’s very short, and each chapter is only a couple of pages long, which makes it easily accessible and a good read for when you only have a few short breaks in a day. Read it to analyse it, or read it for the sake of a good story; either way, read it!

I suspect this edition would be great if you were going to be studying the text but the introduction and the notes influenced my reading experience very negatively and I didn't get an much joy from the story as I expected.
There is wonderful elements to these stories but I think they should be read from a book designed for children rather than a book which is presented as a dry academic text book. I think I wanted colourful pictures and a larger font to get the childlike enjoyment that I hoped for.
