Synopsis
Lewis Carroll’s duo of novels about a girl named Alice and her surreal adventures have been popular since their publication in 1865 (
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) and 1871 (
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There). Neither book has ever been out of print. But many parents find the originals too difficult for young children, and thus the publication of many simplified and abridged versions of Alice. Our
Alice in Wonderland Picture Book features illustrations of several major episodes of the story from Italian mid-century illustrator Maraja. Accompanying these vibrant images is a very simple text. It serves as a marvelous introduction to Carroll’s world of marvelous madness.
