The Nursery "Alice" (1890) is a shortened version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll - adapted by the author himself for children "from nought to five".
It includes John Tenniel's illustrations from the original book coloured and enlarged.

The work is not merely a shortened and simplified version. It is written as though the story is being read aloud by someone who is also talking to the child listener, pointing out details in the pictures and asking questions. There are also additions, such as an anecdote about a puppy called Dash, and an explanation of the word "foxglove".
