Description: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most enduring classics of children's literature, and is presented afresh here in a striking new edition accompanied by Michael Foreman's stunning watercolours. This artwork uses imagery taken both from the original pioneering photography of Lewis Carroll, and the famous Tenniel illustrations commissioned by Carroll himself.

Foreman's gift is to unite these elements and yet create an Alice who is distinctive and modern. Her character has proved to be remarkably timeless: bold, curious, resourceful and charming, every age has cast in her its own image. Here, Foreman's illustrations combine aspects of Alice Liddell — the 'real Alice' — who so fascinated Lewis Carroll, as she appeared in his powerfully enigmatic sepia photographs, with his own distinctive imaginative characters and landscape. Magical, nonsensical and extravagant, Wonderland entices us to enjoy its appeal all over again...

This edition includes a reproduction from the facsimile manuscript that Carroll painstakingly copied out as a gift for Alice Liddell, photographs of the author and his photographs of the young Alice Liddell, and a note from the illustrator.
