Full Description
"Vintage Fantasy" is a limited edition gift pack which consists of beautifully designed separate volumes of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll and Haruki Murakami's cult bestseller "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle." "Vintage Fantasy" is just one of ten "Vintage Classic Twins" to collect. Each twin consists of two books: a specially designed limited edition of one modern classic title and one established classic work. The books in each pair have been carefully selected to provide a thought-provoking combination. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland": Alice is one of the most beloved characters of English writing. A bright and inquisitive child, one boring summer afternoon she follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom she finds herself in a bizarre world full of strange creatures, and attends a very strange tea party and croquet match. This immensely witty and unique story mixes satire and puzzles, comedy and anxiety, to provide an astute depiction of the experience of childhood. "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle": Toru Okada's cat has disappeared and this has unsettled his wife, who is herself growing more distant every day.Then there are the increasingly explicit telephone calls he has started receiving. As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell.
