'Jaques and Giddens ... offer a thorough and engaging textual history of Lewis Carroll's Alice books ... Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers.' - Choice 'This will surely become the definitive work on the publishing history of the Alice books for some time to come. A must for every serious scholar of the ultimate crossover texts. Eminently readable as well as erudite.' - Morag Styles, University of Cambridge, UK '...an excellent book, full of information and ideas, very well-managed, and also, true to the origin of its topic, entertaining.' - Publishing Research Quarterly 'In summary, this book is well written, carefully researched, and well documented, and the authors have synthesized earlier studies to form a rich context for their sociological study.' - New Books on Literature 'The authors have written a compelling and richly detailed publishing history of the Alice books that both unravels the complicated prepublication history of Wonderland and Looking-Glass and discusses the curious ways Alice has been transformed by Carroll and others.' - Children's Literature Association Quarterly 'Throughout, the alertness to changing audiences (in terms of gender and, especially, age) and the capacious approach to publishing history mean that this is an important contribution to Carrollian reception history.' - SHARP News 'This really is the first book to cover all aspects of the publishing history of Alice and to attempt to unite the scattered results of decades of research ... The authors have clearly chosen to tell a story here and it makes for pleasurable reading.' - Publishing History This book is a real treat: a well-written publishing history, it is meticulously researched, full of new details about the books we know, and follows a lively narrative. - Gillian Fenwick, University of Toronto, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada
