This everlasting literary diary has been specially commissioned from Rosemary Gray. It has one page per day, and each contains apposite quotes taken from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking-Glass and one of Sir John Tenniel's superb illustrations. Because each day is dated, but not named, it is suitable for use in any calendar year - or perhaps as a birthday and anniversary book. It is uniform in size with the rest of The Collector's Library, and will make an elegant and handy keepsake. 2014 is the 150th anniversary of Alice's Adventure's Under Ground, the manuscript that Lewis Carroll presented to Alice Liddell and which was developed into Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865. Sir John Tenniel was a British illustrator, graphic humourist and political cartoonist whose work was prominent during the second half of the 19th century. He was the principal political cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years and was knighted by Queen Victoria for his artistic achievements in 1893.
