The Dover Bookshelf steps into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll with two of the English language's most popular and frequently quoted books. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, rabbits are chronically late, grinning cats disappear at will, and queens call for executions at the drop of a card. In the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, the inquisitive heroine becomes trapped in a madcap, topsy-turvy world and is regaled with memorable poetry, including the oft-quoted "Jabberwocky." Fall down the rabbit hole and rediscover the magic of Carroll's timeless tales in this marvelously designed hardcover edition. Readers young and old will be enchanted by this collectible keepsake, which captures Carroll's unique blend of nonsense and sophisticated wordplay and features all of the original illustrations.

Alice Dreaming is a play for secondary students that tells a uniquely Australian story. Trapped by the expectations of others, a girl escapes into her imagination. Following an albatross, Alice takes a journey across Australia that eventually brings her closer to home and an understanding of who she is. Inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, it is a play written about teenagers, for teenagers. Embracing a non-naturalistic theatrical language, Alice Dreaming can incorporate a number of performance elements, including puppetry, mask, music and dance. Roles are suitable for performance by both boys and girls. The cast includes 29 speaking roles plus chorus. The play runs for 60-80 minutes. Designed to provoke discussion and debate, Alice Dreaming can be used as a classroom resource to develop student thinking around both personal issues and social issues, including the environment, politics and Australian history.

Alice Henry: The Power of Pen and Voice

Alice Henry: The Power of Pen and Voice

Diane Kirkby

Cambridge University Press
2002
pokkari
In this, the first biography of Alice Henry (1857–1943), Diane Kirkby presents us with an intelligent, formidable woman of great energy who was a pioneer in both the Australian and American labour movements early this century and a feminist who fought for the rights of millions of women in both countries. After a childhood largely spent in the Australian bush, Alice Henry became a journalist and suffragist in Melbourne, where she witnessed the growth and upheavals of the Australian labour movement and consequent experiments in state regulation of industrial relations. During her 28 years in America she became a prominent figure in the Women’s Trade Union league and campaigned for the rights of wage-earning women using her powers of ‘pen and voice’ as a writer and lecturer. Through empathising with Alice Henry, readers can increase their understanding of a critical period in history, when progressive networks were far more international than might be expected and women played a central role in the creation of the welfare state.

"A strange and beguiling masterpiece." --Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine A hypnotic, wildly inventive novel about art, violence, and endurance Alice Knott lives alone, a reclusive heiress haunted by memories of her deceased parents and mysterious near-identical brother. Much of her family's fortune has been spent on a world-class collection of artwork, which she stores in a vault in her lonely, cavernous house. One day, she awakens to find the artwork destroyed, the act of vandalism captured in a viral video that soon triggers a rash of copycat incidents. As more videos follow and the world's most priceless works of art are destroyed one by one, Alice finds that she has become the chief suspect in an international conspiracy--even as her psyche becomes a shadowed landscape of childhood demons and cognitive disorder. Unsettling, almost physically immersive, Alice Knott is a virtuoso exploration of the meaning of art and the lasting afterlife of trauma, as well as a deeply humane portrait of a woman whose trials feel both apocalyptic and universal.
