The story of Alice and her remarkable adventures in Wonderland has enthralled generations of children since it was first published in 1865,the White Rabbit,the Cheshire Cat,the Mad Hatter and all the glorious gallery of Wonderland inhabitants are as much familiar friends as they are part of our literary heritage.Lewis Carroll's timeless masterpiece is richly visual in its telling,full of imagery,and it is not surprising that it has attracted the talents of many artists and illustrators over the years.But to match the surreal quality of the writing requires a special vision,an imagination which can soar as freely as Carroll's. Award-winning artist Anthony Browne possesses just that kind of imagination,and his dazzling illustrations for this edition of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' should become as well-known and well-loved by our generation as Tenniel's were by his.This is a perfect marriage between a classic text and a great illustrator.
