Produktbeschreibung
Alice in Wonderland' is the best known work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name, 'Lewis Carroll'. Telling the tale of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by surreal and anthropomorphic creatures, the book was a huge commercial success on its initial publication in 1865. It was followed by its sequel, 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There', in 1871. The books play at the heart of logical problems and literary nonsense - giving the narrative lasting popularity with adults and children alike. This edition of the 'Alice in Wonderland' story is illustrated by Charles Pears (1873 - 1958), and Thomas Heath Robinson (1869 - 1954). Both immensely talented 'Golden Age Illustrators', the two men collaborated on this work - producing a beautifully varied volume. Charles Pears was famed as both a painter and illustrator, and contributed to many periodicals, as well as producing frequent 'marine' paintings. T. H. Robinson was the brother of William Heath, and Charles Robinson; all of whom became imaginative and highly-respected illustrators. The artwork of Pears and Robinson is presented alongside the text - further refining Carroll's masterful storytelling. This book forms part of our 'Pook Press' imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in children's literature.
