Evertype is delighted to announce the publication of a new and splendidly-typeset edition of Lewis Carroll's classic "Alice's Adventures under Ground", containing Carroll's original illustrations.
Available from Amazon! See www.evertype.com/books/alice-underground.html
From the introduction:
This edition sets the text in type, thus making it easier to read than in facsimile. It is certainly well worth reading, although it is shorter than the final form of the story—Alice’s Adventures under Ground is just over 15,500 words in length, whereas Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is nearly twice as long, containing about 27,500 words. Here, as in my other editions of Alice books, I have kept to the book design inspired by Martin Gardiner’s Annotated Alice. Since this is a typeset edition, capital letters are used regularly at the beginning of quoted speech even though they are often omitted in the manu script; some other punctuation has been normalized. Many of these changes are also found in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
This edition also contains Carroll’s introductory essay “Who will Riddle me the How and the Why?” and, as appendices, his “Easter Greetings” and “Christmas Greetings” to children. These were also published in the 1868 printed edition.
