"Dedicated to the many "Sisters and Brothers" -- and Grown-ups too --who have loved "Alice" and wished there were more."

From the Foreword
Probably you, like myself, have often wished that Lewis Carroll might have found time to write another book about "Alice".

Certainly most of the children who have delightedly followed her through "Wonderland" and the "Looking Glass" country have sighed regretfully when Mother finished reading the last chapter to them.

After reading the marvelous tale for perhaps the tenth time when I was a little boy, I started trying to imagine what Lewis Carroll would have written had he continued the "Adventures," and it has been great fun for me to go on with these imaginings from time to time and finally to

write them down. The children "with dreaming eyes of wonder" to whom I have related some of these "New Adventures" have frankly enjoyed them and their accompanying nonsense verses, and have helped with many stimulating questions and suggestions. This leads me to hope that even Lewis Carroll, himself, might have enjoyed some of these added "doings" of his adventurous "Alice".

And so I make no excuse or apology for what to some may at first seem shocking assurance, and if any of my love for the dear old dog-eared volume of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has crept -- as I meant it should -- between the lines of this humble supplement, that is excuse enough for its being. It is offered as a loving gift from thankful children to the sweet spirit of the immortal Lewis Carroll who has always seemed to me a dear, indulgent, story-telling Uncle to all children.

"Little bird faces appeared at open, curtained windows!"

"As the dancers circled round and round!"

"She carefully picked one of the bowl blossoms"

"Ice gave way beneath her with a curious tinkling crash"
