In Lewis Carroll's <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i> [1865], young Alice falls down a rabbit hole into an underground fantasy world inhabited by unforgettable, anthropomorphic characters: the White Rabbit, the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, the Mad Hatter, the grinning Cheshire Cat, the pompous Queen of Hearts. With great inventiveness, Carroll plays clever and joyful games with the logic and vibrant characters of his story, making it one of the most essential, beloved and influential works of English literature. <br/>This edition of <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i> also includes its equally imaginative sequel,<i> Through the Looking-Glass</i> [1872]. Both works feature the original illustrations by John Tenniel.<br/><br/>LEWIS CARROLL, the pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - born in 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire, and died in 1898 in Guildford, Surrey - was a British author, mathematician, and logician.

<strong>The epic sequel to Taran Matharu's instant <em>Sunday Times </em>bestseller, <em>Dragon Rider, </em>in which empires fall and dragons soar...</strong> <br/><br/><strong>'A dazzlingly epic and richly complex world of dragons, magic, and rebellion' </strong>Amelie Wen Zhao on <em>Dragon Rider</em> <br/><br/>Jai dreams of being a dragon rider. He dreams of freedom from the Sabine Empire and a world in which he can lead his people, the Kidara, to freedom. But even though he has his dragon, Winter, she is still growing, just as he's still growing in his own power. And the road to victory is even more fraught than he had hoped... <br/><br/>Because even when he finds a tribe on the Great Steppe, they are not his people. They are the outcasts, the Tainted, and he finds that he knows little of the political intricacies that take place in these vast grasslands. He is a stranger amongst his own kind, for Jai's uncle rules, and is loath to cede power to his nephew. <br/><br/>But the legionaries and Gryphon Guard of the Sabine Empire are wreaking havoc against the other tribes of the Great Steppe, and Jai is forced to learn a lifetime's worth of knowledge in a matter of months. From levelling up his magic, to becoming a true warrior, saving the woman he loves, and strengthening his bond with Winter, Jai is a dragon rider with a massive weight on his young shoulders. And his greatest hope is that the shoulders of Winter will soon be strong enough to help carry <em>him</em>. <br/><br/> <strong>READ THE EPIC FANTASY SERIES WITH SCORCHING FIVE-STAR READER REVIEWS </strong> <br/><br/><strong>'Dragons with depth...
