This volume brings together Martin Gardner’s legendary original 1960 publication, The Annotated Alice his follow-ups, More Annotated Alice and the Definitive Edition his continuing explication through the Knight Letter magazine and masterly additions and updates edited by Mark Burstein, president emeritus of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America. The Annotated Alice: 150th Anniversary Deluxe Edition compiles over half a century of scholarship by leading Carrollian experts to reveal the history and full depth of the Alice books and their enigmatic creator. So began the journey, now in its 150th year, of one of the most beloved stories of all time. The tale, initially titled Alice's Adventures Under Ground, became Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which Dodgson published in 1865 as Lewis Carroll. Dodgson recalled the pivotal moment thusly: "In a desperate attempt to strike out some new line of fairy-lore, I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole, to begin with, without the least idea what was to happen afterwards." Dodgson often spun fairy tales on these boating trips to pass the time, and on this particular afternoon the story was particularly well received by Alice, who afterwards entreated him to write it down for her. With him were three young friends from the Liddell family-the sisters Lorina, Edith, and Alice. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson took a rowboat out on the Thames.
