Alice in Wonderland

-Lewis Caroll ought now to be taking his palace among the novelists-, wrote Kathleen Tillotson twenty-one years ago. Alices Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass need no introduction: the double Alice is among the best-known, most frequently quoted books in the English language, and has been translated into almost as many foreign tongues as has the Bible; in its own branch of the art of fiction it stands supreme. It is the most outstanding among that small group of childrens books which adults continue to read troughout life-and often enjoy more than the audience for whom they were originally intended.
