“Will you please tell me who you are?” Alice asked.”

“I’m Tweedle,” he said, watching her very closely as she came in and took the only empty chair in the room, a seat opposite to him at the table. He immediately removed the jam and cakes to his own side of the table, out of her reach as he thought.

“I shall want all these myself,” he said.

“I don’t want any, I’m sure,” said Alice. “You’re not very polite, certainly.”

“I know it,” said Tweedle; “but this is my supper; contrariwise, if it was yours, I’d ask you to take some. But are you really sure you don’t want any?”

First published in 1895 in Philadelphia, thirty years after the initial publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Anna Matlack Richards’ A New Alice in the Old Wonderland is a splendid and worthy successor to Lewis Carroll’s original tales. Instead of Alice Liddell, it is Alice Lee who makes her way to Wonderland...
Richly illustrated in the style of John Tenniel by the author’s daughter, this book will delight any reader thirsting for a new adventure in Carroll’s wondrous world.
