Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Lewis Carroll's original adaptation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for younger readers, with the first colour illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.
MoreLong description:
"I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a 'Nursery Edition' of Alice with pictures printed in."
– Lewis Carroll's diary, 15th February 1881
The Nursery Alice, originally published by Macmillan & Co. in 1890, was the very first colour edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was intended, wrote Carroll, "to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five. To be read? Nay, not so! Say rather to be thumbed, to be cooed over, to be dogs'-eared, to be rumpled, to be kissed . . ."
With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote Alice himself, simplifying and abridging the original text, while Sir John Tenniel redrew, enlarged and coloured twenty of his iconic illustrations (with Alice in a yellow dress to reflect the 1890s craze for yellow!). The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience; readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images and even the physical book itself, in a way that is thoroughly modern.
Gloriously reproduced by Macmillan, the original publishers of both Lewis Carroll's Alice books, this edition retains every word of the original The Nursery Alice and restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel's artwork - lost in reproductions across the decades - along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson. This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to Alice, and a delight for child and adult readers alike.
