Publisher Comments:

"Rodney Matthews is generally acknowledged to be among the greatest artists that have ever lived. Need I say more? Please buy this book, and all his other works, because then my immense collection of stuff will become even more valuable." John Cleese

Here is Lewis Carrolls classic story as you have never seen it before through the eyes of world-famous fantasy illustrator Rodney Matthews. Featuring a preface by the artist about his interpretation of this original and experimental childrens classic, this is a lavish edition that will be treasured by collectors.

Review:

"An interplanetary landscape serves as the backdrop to Alice's journey in this fantastical rendition, which fits into a sturdy slipcase. Alice — whose long blonde hair is streaked with gray and facial features seem almost haunted — encounters a cast of familiar characters who, in Matthews's hands, have exaggerated, alien qualities: an especially bestial March Hare and a goblinlike Mad Hatter appear at the tea party, as a living tree looks on. In addition to surreal and vibrant full-spread scenes, b&w spot art often appears beside Carroll's text. Matthews's original and psychedelic conception befits the story's unworldly essence. All ages. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) was an English author and mathematician. ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND was first published in 1865 and has since become one of the most beloved and well-known classics of all time.

Rodney Matthews began drawing at a very young age and went on to study commercial design. After serving an apprenticeship in advertising, he became a freelance designer and illustrator. Since that time, he has become an internationally acclaimed artist with a unique and instantly recognizable style.
