Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Walker Illustrated Classics)
Author(s): Lewis Carroll
For over a hundred years, Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll's classic story of logic and lunacy has delighted young and old alike. More abundantly illustrated than previous editions, this award-winning interpretation is full of warmth and humour. The whole approach is contemporary and accessible - Alice herself is a child of today - casually dressed, personable, spirited.
In Helen Oxenbury's hands, the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland is a wondrous place indeed.
