The Children's Treasure Book - Vol II - Alice in Wonderland - Illustrated By Harry Rountree and Chas Pears

Beschreibung

Volume two of the Children's Treasure Book contains Lewis Carroll's classic tale of Alice in Wonderland. Here the story is decorated throughout with Harry Rountree's charming black and white line drawings and Chas Pears's beautiful coloured plates. Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.

Autor

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a British author, mathematician, and photographer, was born on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. Lewis Carroll was his pen name. The children's books "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass," are among Carroll's best-known works. His works are beloved by readers of all ages and are well-recognized for their inventive characters, absurd language, and exotic locations. Carroll was not just a gifted writer but also a gifted mathematician, logician, and photographer. He spent several years teaching mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, where he was a fellow. Carroll was renowned for being a reclusive and mysterious guy despite his great achievements, and much of his personal life is still a mystery. It is known, however, that he was close friends with a number of young ladies, notably Alice Liddell, who served as the model for his most well-known character, Alice. Carroll's legacy as a writer and mathematician has persisted in inspiring and influencing generations of artists, researchers, and readers. He passed away on January 14, 1898, at the age of 65.
