Author(s): Lewis Carroll

Children's & YA

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass have captivated the imagination of adults and children alike since they first appeared more than a hundred years ago. Since that time many artists have attempted to capture their dreamlike combination of impossible events, precise detail and weird logic. Mervyn Peake's illustrations, commissioned in the 1940s, and unavailable in any edition since 1978, have been restored to their former clarity and brilliantly capture Alice's weird and wonderful world.
