The Nursery Alice

This is Carroll's own retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for very young children, usually those under five. He shortened the story, spoke to the child reader directly and added a gentler, chatty tone. It was published with colour illustrations based on the original pictures by John Tenniel. The book is of interest because it shows Carroll adapting his own tale for a new audience, and it keeps the familiar adventures in a simpler form.
