Description: ALICE’S ADVENTURES UNDER GROUND is a handcrafted, hardbound miniature reproduction of the original version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, the pen-name of Charles Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician. It contains 91 pages with the text and many wonderful illustrations throughout the book. The pages are printed on both sides of single sheets. This volume measures l and 11/16 inch high by 1 and 5/16 inch wide by 3/16 inch thick. The book is constructed using traditional bookbinding techniques and other techniques I have developed for miniature books. Each page is hand cut. The cover is printed on high quality acid free paper and bound over a base of 110 pound cardstock to keep the cover in scale. The spine is printed with the title so the volume will look well on a bookshelf in your miniature library. Dodgson was fond of children and became friends with Lorina, Alice and Edith Liddell, the young daughters of the Dean of his college, Christ Church. One summer's day in 1862 he entertained them on a boat trip with a story of Alice's adventures in a magical world entered through a rabbit-hole. The ten-year-old Alice was so entranced that she begged him to write it down for her. It took him some time to write out the tale and complete the 37 illustrations. Alice finally received the book, dedicated to 'a dear child, in memory of a summer day', in November 1864. Urged by friends to publish the story, Dodgson re-wrote and enlarged it, removing some of the private family references and adding two new chapters. The published version was illustrated by the artist John Tenniel.
