Alice in Wonderland Collection - All Four Books presents the two most famous Alice books - Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass - as well as the Alice-related fantasy verse The Hunting of the Snark and, for Alice aficionados, a digitized copy of Alice's Adventures Underground, the shorter, original Alice in Wonderland manuscript which Carroll wrote for his friends and family before they encouraged him to expand the book and send it to a publisher.

Chi sono gli alberi? Creature vive che cantano, che emettono suoni nel silenzio o nella notte, che respirano, che si nutrono, che guardano, che sentono.Un libro come una passeggiata per scoprire e osservare gli alberi che ci circondano, i paesaggi che abitano e che abitiamo insieme, le relazioni tra loro e noi; per comprendere la loro bellezza, la vita che li anima e che ci infondono, la poesia che alimentano.
