Alice's Adventures 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. The stories are accompanied by a set of dazzling Charles
Robinson illustrations. Charles Robinson (1870 - 1937). An active
painter in his own right, and brother of the famous Thomas and William
Heath Robinson, his illustrations still delight both young and old
over a century later. Robinson started his illustrative career with
100 pen and ink drawings for 'A Child's Garden of Verses' (1895). The
book was an instant hit, and from that point onwards, Robinson
continued to illustrate fairy tales and children's books – with his
characteristic style of subtle line, combined with delicate
watercolours. Appearing alongside the text, Robinson's illustrations
further refine and elucidate Lewis Carroll's captivating storytelling.
