This edition presents the first translation into German of 1869 for the modern reader. The translation by Antonie Zimmermann was, in fact, the first translation of Alice into any language. It was originally published in a Fraktur typeface, and was written in a spelling typical of the nineteenth century. In preparing this edition, the spelling has been modernized with care and according to the rules of proven German orthography.

Lewis Carroll è uno pseudonimo: l'autore si chiamava in realtà Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ed era professore di matematica presso il collegio universitario di Christ Church a Oxford. Dodgson iniziò ad abbozzare questo racconto il 4 luglio 1862, durante una gita in barca a remi sul Tamigi nei pressi di Oxford, in compagnia del reverendo Robinson Duckworth e delle figlie del preside di Christ Church: Alice Liddell, di dieci anni, e le sue due sorelle Edith e Lorina, rispettivamente di otto e tredici anni. Come si intuisce dai versi che aprono il libro, le tre bambine chiesero a Dodgson di raccontare una storia ed egli, in un primo momento con una certa riluttanza, iniziò quella che sarebbe diventata la prima versione di questo libro. Lungo tutto il racconto, che vide finalmente le stampe nel 1865, si celano parecchie allu sioni ai cinque gitanti di quel giorno.

Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author’s real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Thames in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age) the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the story to them. There are many half-hidden references made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865.
