This edition of Alice in Wonderland was originally published in 1911. Here the classic children's tale is illustrated by the well known and much loved Mabel Lucie Attwell. About the Illustrator: Mabel Lucie Attwell was a household name during the 1930s working mostly in watercolour and pen-and-ink. The public was enthusiastic about her delicate early work and her illustrations of chubby, endearing toddlers were enormously popular, lending her much commercial success. About the Author: Charles Dodgson (1832-1898) is best known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll. A polymath who is arguably best known as an author, but who also worked as a mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer, his most famous works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the sequel Alice Through the Looking-Glass. Dodgson was a prolific writer who contributed children's stories, mathematical theses and political pamphlets to a variety of magazines.

Twelve reproductions of episodes from the childhood classic range from John Tenniel's original illustrations to versions by Arthur Rackham, Charles Robinson, Mabel Lucie Attwell, Charles Folkard, Milo Winter, and others.

The classic, Victorian and Golden Age artists are the best known, but there are many other fine examples. Inevitable Sir John Tenniel extensive art is all-pervasive, and Arthur Rackham’s fine work is known by many but other illustrators such as Gwynedd M. Hudson, Milo Winter, Mabel Lucie Attwell, W. Heath Robinson and many others have entertained parents and children alike for over 150 years. This new book includes hundreds of illustrations and offers an insight into the work of each artist.
