Is seoid de litríocht na bpáistí an leabhar Béarla Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland a foilsíodh den chéad uair sa bhliain 1865. Is iomaí sin
teanga a bhfuil aistriúchán den scéal le fáil inti. Foilsíodh
aistriúchán Gaeilge le Pádraig Ó Cadhla (1875-1948) sa bhliain 1922 ach
ní fhacthas leagan ar bith eile i nGaeilge go dtí anois. Is aistriúchán
nua ar fad an leagan seo thíos. K. Verschoyle a rinne na léaráidí le
haghaidh aistriúchán Uí Chadhla. Is iad na pictiúir cháiliúla a rinne
Sir John Tenniel agus a bhí sa chéad eagrán Béarla atá le feiceáil sa
leabhar seo.
The book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a treasure of English
children's literature and was first published in 1865. It has been
translated into many languages. An Irish translation by Pádraig Ó Cadhla
(1875-1948) was published in 1922 but no other Irish version has
appeared since. The present Irish version is a completely new
translation. K. Verschoyle drew the illustrations for Ó Cadhla's
version, whereas this new book contains the famous illustrations of Sir
John Tenniel, which first appeared in the original English edition.
