Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, By Lewis Carroll

As with so many of the excellent Oxford World's Classics, this new edition has the reader oscillating between text and annotation.

We learn the significance of the orange marmalade picked up by Alice (Lorinda Liddell, the real Alice's mother, provided the original recipe for Cooper's Oxford Marmalade). The White Rabbit was identified by William Empson as Dr Spooner, though this edition fails to note the belief in Beverley, East Yorkshire, that it was based on a church carving seen by Carroll.
